      Hi Chuck, 
      
      Sorry for the delayed reply. Those cap-screws do stick pretty-well from the constant
      heat/cool cycles so yes, it might be a good idea to loosen and then retighten
      them to ensure they are keeping the joint tight. I know they are tricky
      to access, but a loose or below-torque joint will soon blow the gasket. Using
      anti-seize can help too.

      Hi all,
      
      After reading the tips on the Jabiru US site for cold weather starting, it appears
      that the recommendation is to blow warm air across the carbs with a small
      (1100W) heater to ease winter starting.  Seems reasonable enough.
      One thought that crossed my mind, however, is what other winter precautions I would
      need to take should I choose this engine.
      
      The item that triggered these thoughts was a read through a white paper that Tanis
      Aircraft had put together related to how bad cold starting is on an aircraft
      engine.  Now, they may have made it seem like winter is deadly for aircraft
      engines for purposes of selling engine heating components.  But it did make me
      wonder.  
      
      So, for those more experienced than me (which is pretty much everyone), do I need
      to take extra precautions to ensure a thoroughly warmed engine for cold weather
      flying living up here in the cold Wisconsin winters?  Is putting a Tanis
      heater on this engine necessary (not that Tanis actually has a kit specifically
      for this engine, mind you).
      
      Thanks for any insight you can provide.
      
      Best regards,
      Chris
