Dec 12, 2022 1.8 Oil cooler; Chafing mitigation; Cabin heat; Tanis heater ground Category: Firewall Forward
1. Spent some time looking all over the engine for places where chafing might occur. Added short sections of 3/4" and 3/8" heater line as shields in various locations. Trimmed a small piece off the bottom of the #1 engine baffle to allow a bit more room for the prop governor hose.

2. Cut off the factory ground wire ring from the Tanis plug. Shortened the wire and crimped on a new ring terminal. Attached the terminal to a #10 screw at the bottom of the GPS antenna shelf.

3. Cut 2" off the free end of the cabin heat inlet hose and attached it to the baffle flange.

4. Mounted the oil cooler plenum on the oil cooler. (I can't mount the cooler until I find some 7/8" long #10 machine screws for the oil cooler butterfly valve.)
