Soze,

I had exactly the same experience. I couldn't believe that in all the research I did on the subject (including Wayne's 101 Project book) that no one mentioned the need to be ultra careful about the tight clearance beneath the airbox floor. I drilled into a small aluminum chamber directly beneath the larger hole created by the hole saw. I corrected the mistake by using Permatex Ultra Blue RTV to glue a small quarter sized aluminum patch over the hole created by the pilot bit in the saw. I tried to vacuum out any metal shavings and hoped for the best. Have put on about 500 miles since then with no known problems.

Good luck!

Mike
