Folks - those of you who are building or have
flying samples, what approach was taken to mount alternator and water
pump? Stock Mazda mounts or fabricated your own? If self
fabricated, any pictures would be appreciated. I've been working to
install peripherals on my recently purchased 20B just to get a sense of how
big, how hard to assemble, how to maintain, etc. I'm doing all of this
before actually breaking apart the engine and check/change innards as I
haven't built up that expertise yet.

Hi
Niel. Seems that most of the problem was that the seals simple were not
sealing very well. After a couple of flights things seemed to improve
and I stopped getting significant amounts of combustion gasses into the
coolant. Though me thinks it is time to re-work my cooing system a
little so that accumulated gasses end up in the catch can and get blown off
first... should be an easy modification.
I still have a
brisk oil drip from somewhere probably several spots... still trying to
identify and fix..
But I'm back in the air and stopped my search for a
lyc.... ;-)
