[SEL] New acquisition

[Luke Tonneberger]

Hi Larry,

You have a very nice engine there. I have a LeRoi that is identical to 
yours. Your serial number makes yours earlier than mine.  I had mine at 
Portland last year belted up to a big blower.  Sure makes some great stack 
music. I like it anyway, others may not.

I haven't been able to find anything that really pertains to the hopper 
cooled engines. I might have a little bit of info at home and I'll take a 
look for you.

The guy that I know that has the most LeRoi information is this guy:  Ed 
Malcom
(momalco at olemac.net) 39 malcom lane Pineville mo 64856

He wrote me once and stated: i got gaskets for my engine from olsons gaskets 
in Washington state. The head was 35 and the manifold was 15 plus about 4 
shipping.
