Hope your doing well. Aloe vera works good if you can find it. Had trouble with my injectors moving also.
These big ones take some getting used to.

How did you ever keep that back tire from melting?

Outstanding!

Haha that engine is extremely similar to the M500, from the ejectors to the tailcone windings, but I had nothing to do with it. Cool as shit though!

Ha my mistake, yours was one of a few that has been built with the tail cone winding of that size. Must be a long lost brother of ours. :lol:

Hope your burns are mending well.

Hey Joe,

I send a message to the guy and apparently the engine was build with the M500 in mind. The tailpipe windings aren't to prevent it from sagging, but to prevent the tailpipe tearing appart because of vibrations. He ran his engine without the windings and that was exactly what happend.

The burns have longs since healed btw. arm looks perfectly normal.

Good to hear you are recovered, I was concerned for weeks.

Those are some big tears in the tailcone. If windings prevent that, we should use them more often!

My ignition worked fine wouldn't you agree? Got some nasty burns to back me up on that. How's the pump?

That's the HP pump of my van that Metiz is asking about, folks. No luck yet, chasing a complete engine.
