Yes, had to open up the bore just a bit and counter-bore one end as the oil
injection bolt has a step.  Anyway, I was able to hook up the check valves
and wouldn't you know, it ran worse than before.  So, now I have them
blocked off and I'm sampling MAP from only one rotor.  For some unknown
reason, it runs the best with vacuum sense from only one rotor.

I found damaged apex seals on rotor #1, the one that was cutting out.  So,
I had to pull the engine and tear it down.  I sent the apex seals to Tracy
to look at and evaluate.  He couldn't say for sure, but thought it must
have been from FOD.  I ordered new apex seals and o-rings and will be
putting it back together soon.

I also sent the EC-2 to Tracy for checkout and s/w upgrade.  He didn't find
anything to account for the symptoms I've been seeing.  He made some mods,
upgraded the s/w and it is now on its way back.

Thanks,
Mark
