I'm not looking for a quick fix but I'm looking for more than
articles. I've read and re-read all manner of books and articles,
including Deakin's. Text and photos are great but the answers to my
questions are not exclusively found in his or anyone else's writings.
I want to see what he's talking about. Seems it would be an additional
benefit rather than a cheap shot.

Go to Oshkosh, hang out in the Mattituck tent, participate in the
dismantle/reassembly demonstrations, hang with the guys, and
ask questions about all the broken bits they have on display.
Short of working in a shop, that should give you a feel for whats
going on inside the cowling.

Thanks. That's a great idea. It might be enough to get to to attend
Oshkosh, something I've wanted to do but never seem to get around to.

I finally broke through that wall this year. Drove over this summer from the
Twin Cities, for my first ever Oshkosh.

Will go back next year.

I did the Mattituck disassembly / reassembly exercise at OSH one year, it was a
great experience.
