This morning, I finished up a few engine related details. The previously recommended AC Delco R44F sparkplugs were replaced with Denso IWF16 plugs now recommended by SPA for their head conversion. Graphite thread lubricant and anti-seize was applied to the plug threads before torquing them to seven-ft/lbs.
The gap between the upper oil cooler baffle and the oil cooler, and a few other points, were sealed with grey RTV.
