Re: [T3] Missing cooling tin!

<x-flowed>Yes, I noticed the two different versions.  There's my 6v engine at the 
DDB (which is for sale ;-) and it has the longer tins compared to 
another late model engine there.  I have the correct short tins.  Funny, 
the "engine builder" did install the correct 'cool tin' on the lower 
cylinders.
