| Chris,
Thanks for the info. (Sorry for the delayed response)
So, how about a progress report? BTW, I had a thought as to why your thrust bearings may have worn prematurely. Perhaps the eccentric shaft end-play was too tight and caused the failure. Anyway, don't forget to check the end-play after installing the new bearings.

Please include any of the additions/corrections you think are appropriate.

Prop: Warp drive 3 blade 68 x 17*
Ignition: LS1 coils
Modifications: dual alternators, Floscan and pulse width based (with injector dead time correction) fuel flow indicators and totalizers. Engine and flight parameter data logging. Injector dead time correction added
to EC2 controller A. Retained oil metering system but with separate oil supply and steel lines. 0.020" dia fuel bypass. Fuel pressure regulator with return co-located with fuel pumps allowing single fuel line to fuel rails.
Significant events: SAG and abnormally short spark plug life probably due to over-advanced ignition timing. RD1A prop shaft developed end play requiring shim installation and replacement of ball bearing and seal, partially
attributed to Performance Propeller tip flutter.
