Lynn,
I'm with you on that
memory thing, sadly my memory has never been that good to start
with.
I digress
- again. I spoke to Gordon at Mistral and they felt that the pick-up
was causing a vortex, pulling in air, that would account for foaming. I can't
quite remember but didn't they use a 2 tube arrangement, you mention feeding the
rear rotor?
Question what is the FD
twin turbo?
I didn't know about the
flat screen in the baffle plate, I just thought it was a bigger screen, I don't
know why I thought that.
Why was Mistral having
these problems, they weren't running the engines hard or expecting too high HP
from them.
Why is it no one else
is having these problems OR should they be anticipating
problems.

I hope to hear from
Lynn on a theory
as to why this valve fell out of the engine and what the “racers solution” might
be. This must not be a common occurrence. If it was, engines would
be blowing themselves up right and left.
This usually caused by the phone ringing.
Later in life you find that no phone is needed to loose track of
what you just did a minute ago. So as soon as you understand that you cannot
hold a thought in your head or mine, you revert to little helpers. If you have
to stop, leave the socket on the last thing you did. So if you go out back and
whiz, and on your return you see the socket stuck to the plunger cover, it
will remind you that it needs finished. Be sure the socket is so tall that the
pan will not fit onto the engine, lest you have no oil pressure and a missing
socket. It also helps me to talk out loud as though you were showing a novice
how this is supposed to go together. This helps get strangers interested in
whatever you are doing because they think you are talking to them. After a
while they discover that you are an idiot, with no memory at all, and
walk off disgusted. I have met many like minded (you might say) folks doing
this.
I have never seen a properly torqued cover fall off, so it must have been
the phone.
