Bryan,
Would you happen to have the name and a phone number of any of
those three gentlemen that provided the BMW update? I'm in Virginia,
near Washington DC, and I have a BMW engine that I have been designing
a redrive for. However, in an effort to complete my Avid Flyer
faster, I am looking for a completed redrive by anyone else. I would
appreciate any comments anyone might have about the design those
gentlemen presented.
Thank you.
