    Subject: Woodward vs McCauley Governor Height
    Does anybody know if the Woodward governor is shorter than the McCauley governor? I've got a McCauley on my IO-390 and was doing the left front floor baffle last night and with the cutout for the governor, there isn't enough room for the big, square fiberglass intake hole between the governor and the left sidewall. Its something like 1/4" to 1/2" too narrow and that *doesn't* take into account any mounting flange space. I'm wondering if the Woodward governor is shorter by a 1/2" or so which will make this all work. Basically, I don't see how I'm going to get the McCauley to work at this point. Anybody have any height specs on the Woodward governor? Basically from the boss mount to the top of the arm would be helpful. Thanks!

    Subject: IO-360 Snorkel Induction Installation Plans...
    Dear Listers, I must just be totally missing it, but I've gone through all of my prints twice now and I cannot find anywhere where the installation of the Induction Snorkel for the horizontal intake is described or even shown. I'm guessing its got to be an "OP" drawing of some sort. I would also assume that there would be some written instructions, but I'm not finding these either. I'm just not sure what I'm looking for at this point. Can somebody help a brother out... Matt Dralle RV-8 #82880 N998RV http://www.mattsrv8.com - Matt's RV-8 Construction Blog Engine Baffling...

All of the goodies were tucked inside of the K&N filter box that comes with the FAB-HORIZ INDUCTION-1 kit including the plans, instructions, and all the bits and pieces! Those Van's shipping people must be squirrels... $205 for a replacement snorkel I just noticed in the Van's catalog; guess I'd better do this right the first time...

    Subject: CB-1002-H Governor Bracket Installation Photos...?
    Dear Listers, Van's turned me on to a bracket for the RV-10 called the CB-1002-H which is a bracket for mounting the governor control cable on front mounted governors. Does anyone have some good pictures of how this bracket is installed? Maybe even a scan of the baffling installation OP sheet where the RV-10 baffling is described? Since the IO-390 has a front mounted governor similar to the IO-540 used on the RV-10, some of these baffling pieces seem to work. Any docs you could provide would be most appreciated!

    Subject: Initial Baffle-To-Top-Cowling Fit...
    RV-8 O-360 rear baffle mounted van's oil cooler. Frankly, I found the baffles to be a time consuming nightmare. So far temps fine, Oil temp fine. RV-8 N8432 16hrs. Vince H. (Idaho/Washington) -----Original Message----- From: owner-rv8-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv8-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Matt Dralle Sent: September 14, 2009 7:00 PM Subject: RV8-List: Initial Baffle-To-Top-Cowling Fit... Dear Listers, The RV-8's cowling done and fits like a glove. I started the baffling last night and its coming along nicely. The fit on the sides and back are very good considering the IO-390 installation (and the use of the IO-360 baffle kit). The front baffling is completely different, however, and I'm slogging through the custom fitting. But here's my question. I decided to put the top cowling on top of the baffling that I've got installed so far and I was shocked that the baffling appears to be a good 1 to 1.5" too tall!! Is this because of the IO-390 or is that just where Van's expects you to start in your "cutting-it-down-to-size" phase? That's a lot of snipping and fitting and snipping and fitting. I was expecting to have to trim some, but not over a inch... Also, it looks like the over-sized oil cooler is going to fit nicely on the rear baffle with only a little "modification". But I'm not sure if the back, upper corner is going to clear the cowling. Since the cowling is sitting over a inch high right now, I've got no way to really trial fit the oil cooler and check for cowling clearance until I trim the baffling down. Worst-case I could put a blister on the cowling for the rear, upper flange of the oil cooler, I suppose, but that's kind of hokey. There is room to move the oil cooler in towards the centerline about 1", but then the mount will no longer line up with the flange on the outboard edge and will require more modifications. Thoughts...? Attached are some pics. ( Digest viewers check http://forums.matronics.com ). Matt Dralle RV-8 #82880 N998RV http://www.mykitlog.com/dralle Baffling and Oil Cooler...
