A big day today. With two friends coming out and help, I got the engine installed.



The two ports, one to the side, one facing aft, can be used as oil pressure port


Restricting fitting is installed on the aft facing port. Hand tight, then 1.5 turns


Oil filler is installed


Engine is ready to be installed


Another shot of engine before installing


Engine is hung after 1.5 hours with two friends coming to help


A shot of lower engine mount.



P.S. I had to lift the engine again to swap the washer on the lower mount. The Lord washer, slightly thicker than the AN970 washer, should be installed on forward side, but I installed it on the aft side in the first try.
