Look close and you will see the discharge hole positioned just above the valve guide. Perfect!

Oil nipples epoxied into e-valve towers. I used high-temp JB weld. They claim it's good to 550 degrees F. Nipples still have the tightening flanges on them. They will be cut off after cure.

I was surprised to see the retainers were just the same circlips that hold the valve rocker shafts in place.

This is what I fashioned to depress the springs. If you look directly behind the head you will see the only special tool: a steel sleeve I cut a slot in to allow access to the spring retainer.

Here is almost everything fuselage related. Tail is complete with servos and tail wheel is installed. I picked it up on the wing tube (with the cowl in the proper place) and it balanced dead on 210mm!! I could NOT believe it and. . . . .
