Oh come on, every time I have finished running that engine I tighten all the bolts on the head and muffler. After flying this weekend I went to tighten those bolts again and they finally didn't need to be tightened, although I will still check them after flying. I just don't want to take the muffler off and go through all of that again
Oh well, I'll check that when I get home tonight. It will give me a reason to head to the basement after dinner
Using the break in method I described above, I guess that I should be hoping I have an ABC engine???? If it is ringed, am I in trouble?
