Chapter 23 - Engine installation progress

Installed new Lord mounts.
Installed the engine dataplate on the cold air sump.
Installed the belt drive and pad mount alternators.
Installed the fuel block.
Ordered the machined governor adapter plate and installed the 2" crankshaft plug (to convert to fixed pitch prop).
Removed the 1/8" NPT intake plugs and installed the SDS EFI bosses. I used a heat gun to get the intake plug area up to 160 F and was able to break the plugs free by tightening and then loosing them.

Blogger is giving server errors when I try to upload photos.

The prop governor adapter.


I had to drill out the old rivets on the sump to install the new engine data plate.

The SDS fuel block mounting holes match the center of the case.

Intake is installed.

The factory baffle was a bear to get off due to the amount of silicone adhesive used.

Crank plug installed.

The SDS dual pick up is installed.  The gap between the flywheel and sensor was checked.

Coils and pad mount alternator are mounted.
