My engine seems to be working really well since
reseating the improperly seated B chip in the EC-2. I've run for a few hours
and have not been able to force a re-occurance of the lost data problem. I'm
cautiously optimistic.
I also appear to be jinxed. My engine has
developed an oil leak. The engine was built by Bruce Turrentine and one of the
mods he performed was to remove the stock oil filter pad. He didnt simply
install a block off plate from Racing Beat though. He cut the pad off flush
and plugged the remaining holes with what appears to be JB Weld. One of those
plugs has suddenly started leaking. Not sure how best to fix this. Thinking
the best approach is probably to remove the epoxy and tap for threaded plugs.
But I'm afraid there may not be enough metal left to take a thread. Also
afraid of dropping epoxy shavings down into the oil passage. I'm open to
suggestions.
Man I'm tired of working on this thing. I want to
fly it!
