Hmmm...Larry suggested I might need to put some restraint chains on my new
front engine mount for the Cad 500. Maybe I'd better. :-)

Today is the first time I had enough nerve to go more than 10 miles away from the airport on the engine I just put back together. Now you show me this.

Thanks!

I was told the secret to making thing work was to keep the smoke inside the case.
Seeing this let all the power escape as the engine launched, there might be some truth behind that thought.

Hmmmm I can recall a few other things where the smoke got loose and the motor died, light bulbs too.

Smoke is not your friend...

LarC ( Once upon a time there was a big engine, then there was smoke, then there was none. ) truth in theory
