Great points. I have learned a bunch and have had a few calls from some folks. Thanks to all

It shows the reason to fit a couple of plugs into head proir to fitting.
Easy to measure and set up with heads off. Which I hope to be doing in near future.

I ran 216s in mine for 3 years with no mods and no problems.
