First I would say don't try and over think it. You say the engine has 2400 hrs TT and about 250 SMOH. Was that the first overhaul? If it was, that means the it went 2150 hours. Not shabby. The dual mag. I don't really like them either, but I have flown 182's and 206's with them and now fly several Navajo"s with them. Never had a issue, so even though, I'm not fond of them they have done well. Use and oil with the Lycoming Addivitive, some camguard or Avblend and fly the plane. Have fun

Not a mag. I like EIs and I had some used Lightspeed EIs so that's what I used but at that time (and still?), Lightspeed did not make a bolt-on crank trigger setup for the H2AD so some fabrication was required. If you go with Lightspeed, PM me your email address and I'll send some pics.

Take a look at Flyefii which seems to have system somewhat easier to install. There may be other systems but I haven't researched them.

When you remove the dual mag and mag gear, an oil pressure port that lubes the mag gear shaft is left uncovered. I fitted piece of 4130 tube to block the port but Flyefii's kit included a dual mag block plate with a nice shaft to do that.

As you said, lots of people are happy with the dual mag but the engine I bought did not come with one.

Others here have played with fitting a single magneto. Search H2AD and magneto here and you'll see the posts.

I have a friend with a 10 yr old RV-6, H2AD and 2 electric fuel pumps. He is happy.

Default T mod and lifters

I have an H2 in my soon to be flying 9A. If there's concern over lifters and the cam, they can easily be checked by pulling the pushrods tubes and looking at them. It's one of those things you can do with an H2 engine you can't with others.
