Yesterday, I arrived Falcon Automotive at 10:00am and walked out of his shop last night at 8:30pm. I must say that working with Mark P for a full day is truly and inspiration. Mark P is one knowledgeable Corvair mechanic. I learned so much from working with him yesterday. Together we built the complete short block and installed Dan Weseman's fifth bearing on the engine. Every component on my engine was inspected cleaned, checked for tolerances, plastigauged, miced, measured, tested and retested. Mark P completely refurbished my heads and installed all new intake valves and exhaust valves. There was a lot of aluminum all through my engine from where the cam gear disintegrated. We made sure every spec was removed. I am totally confident I will now have a bullet proof Corvair engine that will keep me airborne without worry. I have not flown since Nov 1st '08 so I am really anxious to get back in the air which will be real soon now. I would like to thank William Wynne, Woody Harris, Dan Weseman, Mark Petniunas and Michael Amick for all helping me pull this together. I would also like to thank all of you who have stayed in touch with me with your concerns and well wishes on getting back in the air. Look out guys, Jones will be back in the skies real soon.
