Brief Description: Engine Assembly - Left Head and Prop Hub
Engine assembly continued today. Safety wire was used to secure the lower cylinder baffles on both sides.
The left cylinder head was assembled to the engine using the process described in yesterday’s posting.
After the left cylinder was attached, the previously assembled prop hub/ring gear assembly was mounted to the engine, and the six mounting nuts were torqued to 175 inch-pounds each.
It is beginning to look like an aircraft engine!!!
