Must have, Dave.  Because my RD-1B had two drain holes in the front Casting
but no drain hole on the gear box spacer.  The RC-1C (for conversion in my
case) has a drain hole in the spacer.

If you note on the photo of Rusty's RD-1B it does not have a hole in the
spacer although it sure looks like someone started to make one {:>)

slide right in like -  well, you know.  No binding at all.  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
