Not sure what to to. Will look into this as well as some other things when I receive the rest of my ordered items to complete the build. Christmas in addition to delays are making the shipments go very slow. Will probably be another to-three weeks before maiden.

BTW - how is the single tail push rod guide working out? I've been thinking about adding one more.
I believe the main gear is meant to "float" a bit. There is a note in the manual about it.

No issue with the single tail rod guide so far...
