All is well. Aero Engines of Winchester VA did a great job...have about 15 hours and its running great. Thanks for asking, btw I don't know if you remember but you sold me an overlay, and it looks great. Thanks again.

Spoke to McFarlane today, a service bulletin will be out in a day or so....

We installed one from Mcfarland last November. I will be giving them a call Monday.

Caution there is a service bulletin on the STS-M12, and it requires replacement.

Hi, just to clarify.... the number 1 cylinder had the valve issue. I told the mechanic to also replace number 6 because it also had the same time on it as 1.
