Top Engine View

 On a Sonex Podcast, Ross Farnham (SDS) said he had a fellow in Arizona shut his engine down, set for awhile and fired it right back up without vapor locking.  40 .lbs of fuel pressure has its advantages.  Although relocating the injection lines and block under the engine would provide cooler fuel.   I recently taxied to the fuel pumps on a 100+ day, fueled and fired the engine up with no issues.



An IA didn't like the injector hoses being Adel clamped to the push rod tube covers since the tubes can rotate.   So I put nutplates on the (.032") baffling and relocated the Adel clamps.   The IA approved.

Hard to see in this photo, but there's an Adel clamp connected to the baffling between #2 & 4 cylinders securing a fuel injector line.
