I'm in the process of rebuilding a O-320 D2B for a RV-9 with fixed pitch prop. It's going to be using the Efii Electronic fuel injection and crank trigger ignition. I won't be using the stock fuel pump, vacuum pump, a prop governor, or either of the stock mag drives.
While looking at the accessory case it would seem to me that I could remove the right hand mag gear drive and block off the oil passage at the plate where that drive mounts? The left side drives the cam, so it will obviously stay in place. With my setup of not needing the mag drives can anyone think of a reason to have the extra right hand one spinning around in there? Maybe I'm missing something obvious, that's why I figured I'd ask.
Thanks
