Scott,
 
This was almost verbatim what I received last time.  :)

Interesting reply from the EMag folks.

Hi Scott:



Absolutely.  



Just nothing we want to advertise and get swamped with questions.  We're not

close enough to take orders, and 10-20 emails/calls a day really eats into

productivity in a small shop.   But please don't stop asking - it keeps us

motivated.



Kindest Regards,



Brad Dement

Hi,



  I'm still interested in a 6 cyl version for a TSIO520 Continental..



  Any news on this front?

Well my MSD electronic ignition seems great on my V6, too bad they don't
make an E-type mag for aircraft engines (although they do have a mag). 
 
Update on the V-6: 
 
I have all the stuff back now and have reassembled most of the short block.
My (new and improved) machine shop and I went thru the engine with a fine
tooth comb. The metal that was found in the engine had no obvious source,
but we both agree it is due to the origonal assembler not cleaning the crank
& engine sufficiently. 
The metal pieces looked and measured exactly like the tailings from turning
the origonal crank at Bryant Racing (probably stuck in an oil galley they
didn't clean out). So, since they left out the oil filter direction plug,
all that metal wandered around in the engine. Good thing I didn't like the
fact that the oil filter didn't feel hot enough, or the damage would have
been much worse! 
 
I degreed the crank & cam last night and put all the pistons back in. Hope
to have the rest of the thing assembled this week. 
 
On a side note.. I had to change a cylinder out of the Cherokee. It ran like
usual except for a couple minutes on a breakfast run it was a tad rough and
rpm's were a little low (the run up was fine). Brought it home and looked
into it and found a melted piston. Turns out a small exhaust leak had cooked
an intake runner and leaned out the mixture in that jug.   
 
Moral of the stories:  If you think something is a little off... look into
it!!!   You are probably right.
