Dan; That's what I have been reading. The reference to an "engine class
change". If it is standard procedure to come in for a inspection after an
engine change that will not result in a class change, I never heard about it.
Perhaps it could be more clearly spelled out in 1.A if that is what is
desired.
I am sure things can be left loose during an engine change. Or a carburetor
change. Jet change. The good news
is that I don't have a spar Plymouth to install, so no engine changes for me.

Rich,
Looking at page 6, 3rd paragraph, 1st sentence. The sentence refers to
engine class change. It has been standard procedure to ask an entrant to come
in for a quick reinspection after an engine change. This is just to verify
that all is OK. I have personally found loose fuel line fittings and linkage
without a nut on the clevis bolt. Look at it as another set of eyes double
checking your work in the heat of battle.
You normally pass the inspection area on the way to the starting line, stop
in for a chat.
