You can't get that thing 60 miles in an hour! Try about 20 mins and it's within book limits at 2250 rpm for your engine. Reduce RPM after TO (although it will hurt speed) and leave the MAP up as the Huosai doesn't generate that much boost anyway. I have successfully run the Huosai at 2650 rpm but I don't recommend it.

Dennis Savarese" Subject: Re: Yak-List: Screw Sizes --> Yak-List message posted by: "A. Dennis Savarese" The secret I discovered to not damaging a Phillips head screw is to use a Phillips head bit from Snap On. The tip of this bit is not as pointed as most and the blades of the bit are not at as steep an angle. This bit buries itself into the head because the tip doesn't bottom out. If I can find a photo of one I'll email it to you. Dennis Savarese ----- Original Message ----- From: "Petri, David S.

It has a slightly different angle on the head, preventing it from properly seating in the Phillips screw head. Bits are cheap, make sure they are Phillips and if they are not Snap on's replace them frequently. Always Yakin, Doug Sapp ----- Original Message ----- From: "A.

I have some AN structural screws with R & P heads but the only R&P screwdriver I ever had was worn out and thrown away 30 years ago. I thought these screws were an aberation from the distant past. Surprised to hear they are still available.
