Mine has enough backpressure to push the header off the adaptor. I wound up pinning mine.<BR>
<BR>
On your set-up, you could avert my hassle by adding a header semi-soft mount.<BR>

Howdy All,<BR>
I am coming down the home stretch on my Focus version 1. I got the<BR>
engine box cut down and rebuilt for my engine mount/engine. It used to<BR>
have a DB hard mount and now has a Hyde A mount. The motor is a Mintor<BR>
1.70 with a Mintor 60 degree header/Mintor carbon pipe. It all fits<BR>
beautiful in the plane. I am getting ready to put my pipe mounts in.<BR>
The question is should I put a support for the header as well as the<BR>
pipe? The header is the "O" ring type mount to the engine, silicon<BR>
pipe/header connector. Any help would be much appreciated.<BR>
