RTK, I alreay sent the engine in for a new carb, reed block and ch ignition. The guys at bme promise that I will love it. My wild hare sukhoi has been collecting dust!!!!!

I have one in a WH Sukhoi and believe it or not I still had to mount the rx batteries behind the canopy. I must have got one that was light in the tail. You will be very pleased with the power

I saw the video, talk about insane power!! My batteries are right above the rudder servo(24lbs13oz)

Here are a couple of pictures of the reed block I received from BME today. I do not know if this is the one that is being shipped currently or not.
There are a few steps to follow when installing this new block.
I was informed that Permatex "the right stuff" is what should be used.
Every piece should be coated liberally but make sure the pulse line area is not plugged by permatex.
After placing the new spacer on top of the old reed assembly use some right stuff and fill in the area where the screws attach the reeds, again make sure the pulse area is clear. Included was also a metal gasket which "I" assume is to space the reeds far enough away from the crankshaft. I am going to see if it is needed and if not I will leave it off.
Next, bolt this up to the engine, keeping it level and inverted as it would normally sit in the plane. Let it cure for at least 24 hours, but longer is better.
This should only be about a one beer job.
On one final note, if you have a WB-25 it is worth a shot, but the best carb to use would be the WGA-9 or it's replacement #7.

good deal RTK.....

I stand corrected, the metal plate should go over the 3/8" spacer just above the area you filled with sealant.
