I think the baffles were mounted on that Lycoming engine.

No water required of course. The Mistral is a bunch lighter even with heat exchangers and coolant.

But, I hope you are right - they were so close.

They were too close to give it all up for good. Mark S. On Sat, Jun 11, 2011 at 10:22 PM, wrjjrs@aol.com <wrjjrs@aol.com> wrote: No Bill, The Mistral PSRU was a all new straight cut spur gear unit.

The hubs are certainly not the same on these two engines!!?? The ratio is the same, but is the Mistral PSRU based on the same gear set as Tracy’s PSRU?
