The list is very small and everything has been talked about in great detail. After getting the history then you may have specific questions. A short list might be this; - get the dual ignition - make sure the upper right(?) engine mount is a newer design - ask for a "short" starter so the throttle springs can be setup to pull-"on" - send the heads to RAM for upgrade (stepped valve guides) - wire a redundant battery supply for the second ignition - relieve the secondary ignition bracket of the sharp inside corners or it may end up cracking - setup the belt tension for 1/4" play at the prop tips when cold - anything else? - a 72" Warp Drive 3-blade square tip ground adjustable has worked well for many people. - it consumes just under 4 gallons/hr at slow cruise, 5-6 at high cruise - there are a lot flying and it has been a very reliable and economical engine for most people. I have been very happy with mine.
