Project: BuckRV-8     -     Entry

Apr 29, 2022 3.5 Oil cooler; Oil cooler lines; Smoke system lines Category: Firewall Forward
1. Measured, marked and drilled the six mounting holes in the flanges of the oil cooler plenum.
2. Marked and trimmed the flange edges to match the edges of the oil cooler. Rounded the corners.
3. Temporarily mounted the oil cooler to its mount.
4. Connected both oil cooler lines to the engine.
5. Ran these lines to the vicinity of the oil cooler. (I was going to attach the two 45-degree fittings to the oil cooler, but I discovered that the ones provided to me today are aluminum, not steel.)
6. Spent a considerable amount of time securing and routing the two smoke oil lines. Tightened all fittings at the distribution Tee and the two check valves. Once I receive the second injector, I will install them and the smoke system (forward of the firewall) will be complete.
