Re: Replacing Brake Pads or Inspecting Pads on High Energy Calipers

George, did you condition the pads right after installation. When I did that, it made a huge difference in holding for a run-up.

Re: LIV-P engine baffling

Over the years I think it went from more aft mounted intercoolers to more forward. All the earlier IVPs that I have seen have the more aft. Mine has the more forward. I have room for oil/air separator and remote oil filter in that space.

Re: 320 Propeller

My battery is on the firewall (engine side). If that is too hard and yours is anywhere behind the current CG, just swap it to an earthX

Re: Lifting the nose wheel

Hopefully you all ready have a weighted tail stand. To do a normal gear swing you need one anyway (or use the engine hoist).
My process is to connect the tail stand and raise the MLG jacks a few inches. This will raise the nose right away, so it isn't sketchy.
