That's strange, Ed.  My RD-1B has the rear drain hole in the gear box spacer.  Maybe Tracy made the change when he went from the A to B drive.

But, I did find out a unique signature of gearboxes converted from 2.17 to 2.85.  You end up with 3 oil drain holes {:>).  The 2.17 does not have a drain hole on the gearbox spacer but the 2.85 does.  I am sure I am to plug the center hole of (the rear drain hole of the 2.17).  But, to make certain I have sent Tracy and e mail to confirm it.  Better than finding out in the air I was wrong {:>)
