Greetings all:
I have recently installed dual LSI electronic ignition in my RV-4. I
installed the mag opening covers just as Klaus recommended with no gasket.
I used my usual Aviation Form-A-Gasket as a sealant but the covers are
leaking oil.
Any suggestions on sealing these better? Did anyone use a gasket?

Yes, I first installed mine without the gasket as spec'd. They leaked.
Then I used the gasket...no more leaks.

Doug,
Use a gasket with "TITESEAL LIGHT OR MEDIUM".
with a gasket. I have never had good luck with any of the permatex products
on airplanes.
Good luck.

John,
I saw your post on the covers which reminded me to tell you that I am
signing up for the Airventure race. I hope you are also.
I just ordered a 10 gal aux tank for my RV8 from Summit racing. Last year
was to close. I almost ran outof fuel. 10 extra gallons should give me a
good cushion.

Dick, please take a lot of pictures of your installation process.
This sounds like an interesting mod.

Dick, you bet I am signed up for the race.
You will beat me again, but I will still have fun. Teresa is going to
ride along this year.
