The good news is that I gained quite a bit of turn radius (I can pivot on my wing tips) and I installed a rubber noise damper so the tail wheel noise is significantly reduced. I also gained about 1 inch of runway view on roll up. It does not spring as much on touch down but I think that is also a plus, the bird seems to settle faster. Well that solved I filled her up and took to the air only to have loss of rpm's on the the forth downwind. mixture meter lean, fuel pressure low . Ok so I pulled the filter, clean. Did several static tests, normal. Replaced the cowling and taxied out. Run up, normal. again at about downwind I get rough running and rpm's at no more than 2500 mixture now reads rich, fuel pressure high(5.8).When I started the bird several days later she ran fine until downwind. Am thinking that do to the added heat in cowling (exhaust wrap removed for cabin heat), I might be getting vapor lock. Any comments; ideas; experience; or suggestions very welcome. thanks in advance.

Also what is the hurdle you have experienced due to the wing tanks?

Fitting the cam gear to the cam took longer then I anticipated. First I had to determine which cam gear to use. Each gear is marked with a number and shop tells me that the range is from minus to plus numbers. I sat the crank in position on a case half and placed the cam and gear in place. The object is to rotate the crank and see if the cam tries to lift out of it's bearing shells, or if there is slop between the cam and crank gear. My original engine used a -2 gear and the engine with the 71mm crank used a -4 gear. The -4 gear was too sloppy and the -2 gear was good. Next came the bolts for the cam gear which were larger then the rivets in the original gear. Also the heads of the bolts had to be trimmed to clear the oil pump. The case as all know has a breather tower which is in the way of the cowling, so next I trimmed the tower removing one inch all around. I also drilled the case to accept a dipstick from the top of the case and not in the front which is sometimes used for both oil filling and the dipstick. Today I plan to install my prop hub to the crank. Before leaving the hanger last night, I placed the crank in the freezer. This morning I will heat the hub and mate the two together. I added a few extra pictures on the engine buildup page at http://kr-2.aviation-mechanics.com/EngineBuildup.htm .
