Charger
At some point we got around to putting the valve cover on and saw we didn't have room for that right cylinder.
Time for some more heavy head scratching....... if only the cylinders could be mounted further away from the engine...... Hmmmm maybe.....
OK. I figured out a way.
These are the 2 pieces that make up the mounting flange.
Those 2 pieces sandwich the firewall. I've got a buddy with a mill who I trade favors with. By buying a thick chunk of aluminum I could have him machine it so I could recess the cylinder mounting surface away from the motor.
One more problem overcome. There is enough adjustment with the pedal linkage that moving this mounting surface was not hard to compensate for.
