That's right Lee, Kenny at Lycon has a whole bunch of hocus pocus under his sleeve, he puts an O-Ring in between the case halves after he machines in the ring groove, he has developed many thing in the name of horsepower and also longevity for aircraft engines............Lou, see if you can make it to KVIS"..........Dan
