Check the screens and filter and if I see it I'll let you guys know. I remember when I first looked at the O Ring when taking the manifold off thinking to myself , wow they really put that in there cause I couldn't just pick it out with my finger nails. Then next time I looked for it was gone, motor put back together. Time stopped, perspiration ran , Oh crud moment.
Got other projects I need to get on to while the weather is cold up here. rj

My only word of advise is be real nice to it during break-in and treat it like a new motor. I could tell there were some hot heat cycles, especially during the first 150 miles. Then it really started smoothing out.
Let us know what you think, regarding power band. My bottom end and mid-range became all I wished it had been to begin with but the top end is fairly flat. It doesn't seem to pay any dividends at redline. I figured this is a matter of mapping. Same amount of fuel and timing curve feeding a bigger hole.
