I hate to put a wet blanket on the party, but the beautiful pics of my sweet new motor have been buried by off-topic discussion. What are the chances that you could take the modding discussion to another thread?

I'll take some pics and add them when I seal the backplate, in case any noobs like myself would like to see that.

Slap my bootie and call me Sally re:the sealed pinch screws. I totally thought it was an air leak thing. I guess it makes sense. The pinch bolt is still above the second o-ring inside the intake throat, right? Any air would have to get past that ring to leak through.
