Subject: Re: Tanis Preheater Hi Gary, If you have bands on at the base of your cylinders it sounds like you have a Reiff preheater. As I understand it do to a change in the cylinders on the "newer" Jabiru 3300 engine the bands can no longer be used. Anyway, I'm looking at a Tanis preheater and the current Tanis solution uses heater bolts that replace tappet bolts. One of the key questions I have is which tappet bolt to replace. The Tanis instructions say to replace a bolt on the intake valve side of the head and shows a top bolt being replaced. Since the Lightning uses some of the top tappet bolts to hold the fiberglass head baffles in place I'm not sure I want to use the top bolts for the heater. It also would be more convenient for tying down the wiring if I could just use the front bottom bolt on each cylinder. I am also working with a remote GSM switch to control the power to the preheater using text messages and get confirming replies. I think it is going to work really well. Thank you for your reply. Hopefully someone with the tappet bolt version will reply. Bill Browns N716MZ Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=416892#416892
