Jul 14, 2023 10 More snorkel and baffle work Category: Engine
The flox from yesterday filled up the upper lip nicely, but the fit is pretty tight in a couple of places and I didn't get full coverage through the width of the overlap. The instructions say that this is fine as long as you have a continuous bead to make the joint air tight, but I felt like I could do better.I started the day by flipping the snorkel upside down and drizzling some neat epoxy in the lower flange of the air filter flange where it overlaps the snorkel. I worked it into the crack via a razor blade and got good penetration everywhere that was questionable.

More waiting for epoxy to dry, so I finished up the RTV work on the aft baffles, then installed and safety wired the dipstick tube. I then went back and tidied up the sensor and P-mag wire bundles. I also knocked out a couple of other things. At this point, My list of small fill in tasks is dwindling pretty quickly
