Before you start cutting, make sure you and Todd are talking about the same tailcone. I have an early single-piece tailcone that has a MUCH smaller opening than my later one piece tailcone, and I don't know if Todd has seen the later one, or if that's what you have. Obviously, there is a problem that is NOT involving the tailcone!
Thanks for the heads up. I just ordered my single piece from Joe a month ago. Can you measure the diameter of yours? I just measured mine at 45.5 mm.
Todd, any chance of me getting a measurement from your friend who opened theirs up?

I will be up at the hangar on Friday and measure it. My first engine was the REALLY early jetjoe, and it came with a very small tailcone that made things heat up. The engine Todd had and ran once was also the same spec as that engine. My engine was upgraded to 1400 status and came with a new tailcone, much larger. I will measure both and get back to you, but I think(no offense) that Todd is thinking of the earlier tailcone?
Also...have you THOUGHT of just sending the engine back to Jetjoe in China? Really, that's the best bet, and shipping is cheap. He has been very good about support for me.
