In reviewing the archives, I note that several times it was pointed
out that Vans supplies a governor setup for the narrow deck Lycoming
engine configuration, when most folks are using are wide deck
engines that should get different dash number set for that engine. Is
it worth deleting the Vans unit from the FWF kit and obtaining the
correct one elsewhere, or are folks satisfied with repositioning the
arm and resetting the max rpm on what Vans provides?

As long as you have at least Rev F of the governor supplied by Vans you'll be fine. Revisions prior to that potentially have an issue with surging. I would imagine that anything you get delivered now will be latest revision. If others are reading this and they have an older Rev B or C prop governor, MT will update it to latest version without charge if you have issues.

I believe the question being asked is "Is only getting 2550 RPM maximum acceptable when a (I)O-540 narrow deck governor is installed on a (I)O-540 wide deck engine".
I wouldn't think so.
Especially when Van's Aircraft could provide the correct governor. I am aware of them knowing about this for at least three years.
Just my opinion.

Stuff that keeps me up at night.
Does anyone have pointers to links or threads that describe how to tell if one has Rev F? I looked over the MT docs in my possession, but didn't get a sense of rev number (could have missed it tho). My serial number ends in an "F"... Maybe that's good?
Thanks,
Jay
