Well, an update to my saga. If we could have coordinated it last weekend I was planning a trip up to NY to take Kevin up on his very genereous offer. Now I'm glad I did'nt make the trip. Spoke with the folks at Robin and apparently after serial# 2000000 they made a change. Even though the heads may be interchangable the newer models would also require a piston change and other work. My serial number is one of the old ones and I'm not sure Kevin's heads would work.
Now I have my heads at a machine shop and am hoping they can be saved or apparently it's another engine in the works. I'm told the issues are all heat related, so an additional fan will be installed(sure would appreciate a PM from anybody that has done this), exhaust pipes will be insulated somehow(has anybody done this?) and I plan to use the PT sparingly on very hot summer days. I wish there was enough room in the tub for a water cooled engine!
