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 {:>)

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.

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
