Still a ball?
That is great, I though that the ball in the 617 made it more acceptable with WVO and at the same time less efficient. I have to study more. What is the main contributing factor for the 603 to be more efficient and I mean the engine itself not the drag factor?

May be I have to try the 603. On the other hand the simple 617 could leave some extra room in the engine compartment. I love the 240 for that.
