Installed engine mount and some wiring: 3 hours


  • The majority of the time was spent installing the engine mount. This has six an-6 bolts with castellated nuts and cotter pins. Getting everything to line up in the correct torque range took some time swapping nut, washers etc. The torque range is 160-190 inch pounds. All my bolts were torqued to a minimum of 170 with most closer to 190.
  • I spent some time reviewing eaa videos on cotter pins before I installed the pins.
  • I also finished the short wire connections from the circuit breakers to the hot battery buses and did a couple of the electronic ignition power wires.
