Finished applying Hi-Temp RTV to baffles. Replaced "gage port" on Fuel Spider per Steps 1 & 2 at Sect 51-06. Installed oil hoses VA-190 per Steps 1-3 at 49-10, and FF00020 per 49-13 while more accessible prior to mounting oil cooler. But... need 7/8" crow foot to torque these size 8 AN fittings. Completed Step 1 at 49-07 installing (2) 8D fittings on Oil Cooler at specified angles [ Vans confirmed OK to use provided Alum fittings, although manuf'er recommends steel fittings to avoid chance of galling]. Added (2) P-seals to Cooler per Steps 2-5 at 49-07 using clear silicone (per instructions).
