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.
