Hello Net Over the past two days I have invested over 20 hours to the final assembly and installation of my new engine. Today I installed the Oil cooler and filter, the EGT probes, and attached the rubber couplers to the intake and carb. I mounted the carb and the filter/diverter. I also connected all of the cables for the mixture, throttle and carb heat. The one area that gave me some problems was the baffods. Because of the new intake plumbing, each one had to be cut. For now they are on, but will need to be remade after the engine is running. Tomorrow I will work on the turbo, torqueing all the bolts and attaching a control to the waste gate. I also have to install plugs and set static timing for the magneto and 009. If all goes well, by noon or so I'll try to bring it to life. I don't plan to install the prop until after the engine will start and run full throttle.
