I still haven't installed ours, as I'm short one (Earls) -6 female 90* elbow for that re-plumbing job, and I've been consumed with other problems... during an attempted full power runup last week we discovered a pinched coolant o-ring between the intake manifold and the heads (you can probably guess how) and so I've had to remove the top of the engine and all the associated stuff to do the repair. Now I'm waiting for some special sealant (German made low durometer silicone) to arrive before I can reinstall the manifold and get everything put back together. I did borrow from rotary engine assembly practices and seated the o-rings in their grooves with Hylomar... it's truly great stuff. Pics of the damaged o-ring and replacements attached.
