Not sure what happened with the program knob. Tracy replaced one of my cont=
rol module units thus allowing me to do some tuning. I have two EC2's but o=
nly one working control module. I may ask Tracy if he has another control m=
odule in his new old stock so I have two complete units (or, continue my ap=
peal here if anyone has one (doubtful since the control module came with ea=
ch EC2). Or, maybe I can get a local electronics guy to look at the knob, i=
t may be child's play to one versed in the topic.=20

Not sure what trashed the engine. Perhaps the problem I had with the front =
cover o-ring. As I mentioned, the rear stationary bearing was trashed. It h=
ad not been replaced during the rebuild process as it appeared good. When I=
 had the engine apart this time I replaced the rear stationary bearing as w=
ell as the rear rotor bearing as it had slight wear and I had a bearing sit=
ting on the shelf. The front stationary bearing had been replaced and still=
 looked good.=20

Currently, the oil pressure seems solid. I get over 100 psi at high power w=
ith the higher pressure regulator.=20
