Brief Description:  Prep and Installation of Engine

I was preparing to install the shroud and the various engine sensors and probes while the engine was sitting on the stand with easy access.

Another builder suggested that it might be easier to align the engine and transmission without the shroud and all of those wires hanging out. Since I already had the right side on with the rocker covers torqued down, I decided to install it with minimal shroud. The engine went in nicely and it shows perfectly level with the digital protractor.

I'm taking the entire next week off work hoping to get the engine, clutch and transmission installed and hope to get a good start on the wiring also.

I had the clutch drum statically balanced by a local propellor shop. They found it was in balance. I'll get it dynamically balanced after the first engine start.
