I had not considered tuck affecting water pick up…another thing to look into.

Also I have the two mag locks on each side each held by two bolts. They don’t seem to me quite enough, we knocked the mag my accident and it moved after setting timing last time. I’m sure I can...

When compared to the foot I just rebuilt the old one felt sub par. It also has some play in the top bearing by the feel of it so appart it comes.
