RTV sealant on Baffles. Oil Temp Sensor moved ( 3 hrs )
Applied Hi-Temp RTV at Engine to Baffle small gaps per Sect 47-24, Step 4. Van's Eric Rushing (Prod Supp) confirmed error in instructions at Sect 43-05 for Garmin Oil Temp Sensor. I discovered different location shown in Sect 51-06, which is closer to the oil filter. Apparently Vans has been aware of error, but hasn't yet issued revision. Aaaargggghhh ! Of course I followed instructions in Sect 43, when I had easy access to back of engine prior to installation. To relocate, required removal of Breather tube, and re-do of safety wires. Apology from Vans accepted...kind of. Aaaarrrrgh.....

pic of original location. investigating what to do with red plug
led to discovery Vans has error in Sect 43-05. |

after moving Oil Temp Sensor to correct location (Sect 51-06),
and re-installing plug with safety wire. Safety wire not required
per Vans, but Sensor has provision, so I installed. Would have
been whole lot easier if Vans had instructions correct ! |
