Firewall Forward Kit

Completed Oil Cooler Install, Sniffle Tubes,  Cooling Blast Tubes, Routed Spark Plug Wires ( 4 hrs )

Completed torquing Oil Cooler hose fittings, since new 7/8" crowfoot arrived.  Needed variety extensions & U-joint due to tight, awkward locations between engine and firewall.  Installed 4" SCAT tube for Oil Cooler per 49-15, Steps 2-5.  Sweet!   Final torqued fittings on MAP hose and sensor with final routing adjacent to 4" SCAT.  Cut Cooling Blast Tubes to 9" lengths, installed at Baffles per Steps 2 & 3, Sect 47-24.  Wait to secure after other routings done.  Completed preliminary routing Slick Magneto plug wires to T2 and T4 (top cyl's 2 & 4), and PMAG wires to T1 & T3 (top cyl's 1 & 3) through Baffle Back Plates per 47-24.  Built Sniffle Tube & Hose Assly per Steps 1-4, Sect 49-17.  Interesting technique to first flare alum tube end, then grind down to provide bead to retain hoses.
