  1. Torque spec is cast directly into the rim flange. Yes, stop nuts
  2. Induction leaks happen at the updraft tube to cylinder connection. The tube lip is held onto the gasket with the aluminum tube clamp. This clamp becomes bowed closer to the cylinder at the studs and further away across the midsection. The fix is new never installed clamps with new gaskets then careful tightening method. Updraft tube connector hose leaks are more obvious if there’s a problem and usually only needs a slight hose clamp tightening.
  3. If left & right flaps appear in good alignment then they weren’t beforehand. This makes a good candidate for complete rigging verification. Who knows, you might experience some new found efficiencies and handling characteristics.
  4. It was only a thought, gauges sometimes lag a great deal from being damped for protection. Prop pressure drops increase rpm’s but I’m probably speaking out of line without fully knowing the oil pressure path in your application.
  5. Oil pressure stabilized during episodes?
  6. Remove the interior door panel and see how the in / out levers connect. You’ll see the problem
  7. Be careful and set up switches so you can’t crank with the non-impulse mag “hot”.
  8. Two rivets vs three doesn’t matter if yours calls for two, just not the other way around.
  9. I believe that removing the right side elevator bungee and pushrod from the elevator (support elevator) , then moving them to the left allows one hand and two wrenches in there. One ratchet wrench and one combo.
  10. Not only that you’ll find that most airframe parts were hand finished in place, meaning part holes from another plane will not match yours. It takes some mold and drill guide fabrication to fit new or used parts.
  11. Perhaps you have one of two pulled from ‘62 assembly line and fitted with ’63 updates for fitment checks then moved along with’63 yr model. Just a guess on my end
