If not then get them. The answer to your question is the rear outer spar is made of 1/2" x 1/2" and 1/2" x 7/8" thick pieces of spruce. The end of the spar is made up of the first piece 1/2" thick by the width of the spar cap. (Look at your plans to see that dimension just to be sure). The next piece is a 1/2" by 1/2". Followed by a piece thats again 1/2" thick by the width of the spar cap. Notice each piece alternates. The length of each vertical piece is different do to the taper of the spar. Please note that I am doing this from memory and do not have the plans in front of me. I remember having to order extra spruce for the verticals in the forward spars due to the deeper spar in the newer wing. I had plenty of material for the rear spars. Good Luck.

I'm guessing at what may be the problem, so if I'm totally off base, let me know.... Are you sure your forgot to torque the heads? Are you running copper head gaskets on this motor? Just curious...

But if you think it's 1/2 x 7/8 I'll go with that. Cheers, John.
