Brief Description:  Plenums see micro and dipstick finished

Adding 2- 3/16" to the dipstick tube was painless, but transposing the filll line marks to the longer distick took some precision. In less than an hour it was polished and engraved to show both low and high limits. This is one mod I'm happy I did and will be much more convenient long term.
The plenums also got my time and attention. The inside of each plenum was cleared of all the foam and prepped for 1 ply BID that was oven cured in 20 minutes flat. In fact, at 170 degrees, the resin cured harder than room temp ever does and with only 2 plies BID, the addition was STRONG. A 3rd ply won't be needed. I then trimmed it up and was able to spread a nice thick layer of micro both inside and out. After 1 round of Z-grip for pin holes, these mods should be ready for paint. I will add, however, that the 2" exit holes will be cut off and plugged as well. These plugs served as an exit for air during cold winter months when I needed to get my CHT's up. But now with 200hp, I don't think I'll have that problem. I'll just throttle up :)
