[quote="rickofudall"]If your overhauler will put the new ceramic seal on the rotary
valve shaft in the grey head you might as well save the money and go with
it. The blue head mods were primarily aimed at the powered parachute crowd to
keep the engine from flash cooling on long descents. Get the 2 stroke Installation
Manual and you can compare the dimensions of the 503 mounting stud spacing
and the 582. If you can find a good "C" gearbox, you'll be happier with it
than using a "B". If you use the "E" you need to move the engine back 3/4" from
the stock Kolb 582 mount plate to get starter clearance to the back motor mount
channel on the fuselage weldment.
Contact me if you go with the 582 and I'll send you the article I wrote on adapting
the Honda Sabre radiator. Tested to 116 degrees on a straight 5000 foot
climb and temps never out of the green. Costs less than 1/5 what the Rotax dual
radiator system costs.

and prop. Engine mount? I'm sure I'm missing things here.

I actually came across the article online. If I go the 582 route I will definitely
use the information. Thanks.

It was a wonderful flight to Rushford with lots of scenery in the hills and bluffs
of southern Minnesota. My wife Laurie took video of the flight and we both
enjoyed the breakfast served here. We also enjoyed the fun we had with friends
and the joking around that we do with each other. This is one of best fly-ins
we've attended. The people here were very hospitable and entertaining. I also
liked the operations area and the professionalism in conducting the fly-in.
Hats off to them!

Ralph,
Sorry I wasn't able to fly over. But thanks for posting a great little video and
bringing some exposure to their fly-In and some positive energy to this forum.
Fly Safe!

Thanks for the comments guys. I plan to disconnect the static line from the probe
and move it inside the cockpit and see what that does. I do have the fuel
return line per Rotax recommendations. The engine is new from the factory so
I would think the fuel float would be correct but will research that and see
what it takes to change it.
Waiting on the weather for the second flight. It's either been gusty crosswinds
or thunderstorms the last few days.
