I would like to hear from someone with a couple of hundred hours on their baffles with #4 tied to a case bolt. I seem to recall a few posts from people who had issues with this.
BTW, I like your solution. I only added the AA to my baffles cracked. I would have gone with a tie bar of some type but there was no room under my plenum for one. |
Bill, I had several communications with Paul Dye after this post, along with others when I was deciding on the location for my oil cooler. The hot link is his post on baffle replacement with near a thousand hours. Scroll down to see his brace to the case. Granted, all engines, and all braces are not created equal, but his worked and he kept it for the baffle replacement. This was the basis for my comment. Actually, I did not find any example of a brace to the head lasting that long, so it is good to hear that you find it durable as well. I made this brace from 5/16" steel rod and heated it red hod and hammered the ends down flat. A pattern and jig ensured the angles and hole locations were acceptable. Thanks Bill!
