Brief Description:  Engine #5 - Engine Install

Joe arrived and we unloaded the hoist from the back of his truck and moved the prop outside to free up needed space. We thought the garage door being open might conflict with lifting the hoist/engine combination and besides, it will be near 100 while we are working, so we would rather be inside the semi-climate controlled garage with the big door closed. We also needed space at the front of the fuse for the engine and this was gained by moving the fuse in between the two tool chests, and that worked out flawlessly. We lifted the engine off the pallet and moved it into position. I was suprised by how little clearance there was when sliding the engine into position with the appliances on the back of the engine. We soon had the engine in position and were ready to install the top-left bolt with the mounts
