RE: ZDZ GONE BAD!!!!!
Problem resolved see post 23
Scott did not take the throttle plate screw off,
Removing the carb in order to cut the opening in the firewall and set the standoff location and length should not void the warranty.
Using rtv instead odf a gasket had nothing to do with the throttle plate screw comming off and destroying the engine.
The engine did not run properly when the origional gasket was installed without the RTV.
He did nothing to void the warranty. I feel sorry for scott he saved for some time to buy this engine, and I talked him in to it
Sorry scott
