I was running a 14# repro cap, but the FLAPS I went to didn't have a 14#, and I was concerned about going to the next lower one (13#), so I picked the next one up in line. Ultimately, I'd like to find a repro 14# cap that works. I don't think it was the increase in pressure, but rather a cap that sealed. It was Tom Kirkham who mentioned that many repro caps don't seal well. thanx and I'll keep the list posted when I 've got more info. BTW, the engine was installed just as it came from Southern, so no chance I reversed their WP. steve
