    270 drive oil pump (another for do or pro)

    This is more a VP drive question then a prop question so i thought it should go here. Is anyone running a Solas 8811 series prop (long shaft) on their 270 or 275? I just got one today and fit it on. The blades are very close to the exhaust port. Within id say 1/8 in or less. I know it wont hit...
