Fred,
 .020?? 
 Wow, where are these specs coming from.
 Everything that I have says .010, cold engine. Actually, I set mine up 
at .010 intake and .008 exhaust, engine cold. Seems to be okay. 
 "Car Diaper" Hmmmmm. Is it supposed to be for collecting the "solid" waste
of liquids?
 I have heard some of these lbc s referred to as pieces of s---, but I 
have never heard of one that actually takes one.
 Let us know what you find out.
Best Regards,
Tony
