<VV> <VV>RE: BLOCKED HOLE IN TOP COVER

[Shaun]

Not quite, Ron!
Unless the flapper door in the box is in perfect condition, some air will
always escape, even when the AIR lever is off. When it is ON, lots of
cooling air escapes, all of it intended for cyl.#5. I usually block mine off
at the shroud with a pop can cutout.

yea, Vairily ... Shaun
