Cliff, et al,
	I would love nothing better.  Unfortunately, during the assembly  
process, we weren't able to find the top cover of the 12 plate oil  
cooler.  I'm going strictly by the book.  Before it leaves the  
garage, the cover will be in place.  I've located a gentleman who has  
one for sell about 60 miles south of here.  I hope that he can locate  
and ship the part today priority mail so that I could have it by  
tomorrow or Wednesday.  I also want to connect my oil temperature  
sensor and that will mean dropping the rear motor mount bracket and  
the rear skid plate in order to hopefully be able to reach the  
connection at the base of the engine.  In addition, I need to figure  
out a way to attach my thermocoupler and lead to the #3 and 4 spark  
plug bases.  It will mount between the spark plug ring and the base  
of the plug, and then, the lead (about 1/8" -hopefully- hole will be  
necessary to pass the two lead ends) will run up past/thorough the  
spark plug boot.  My main concern is loosing my seal for the  
compression chamber; I mean the boots fit tight for a reason, right?   
Anyway, that is the situation right now.
I will keep you posted as to the progress.
