Feb 09, 2022     Oil cooler line connection - (3 hours)       Category: Engine
Spent some time ordering some parts. Needed longer Skybolt stud screws for the two forward fasteners on the cowl that have deeper grommets. Also ordered another firewall pass thru kit. So now have two pass thru kits for each side of the firewall. Added another coat of epoxy paint to inlet diffusers. Installed and connected oil cooler lines to oil cooler. Tight quarters, but was able to get everything snug. Wasn't able to use my torque wrench since I didn't have a crows foot big enough for oil cooler lines.
Countersunk and riveted the Skybolt receptacles to the brackets at the front of the cowl. Had to bend the tabs, as shown, a little to ensure the center was flush as possible with the bracket.
