VA-190 re-position ( 1 hr )
Dis-assembled elbow from oil cooler for VA-190 hose as'ly. Cleaned threads, re-applied Permatex high temp thread sealant. Installed with approx 5 degrees more vertical alignment (any more would cause hose to rub engine mount tube). VA-190 now just clears battery angle -- so still need to explore how to prevent contact wear during engine vibration. I'll ask Vans Prod Support on Monday. (appears on their build they attached hose to nearby fuel line hose with nylon tie to provide clearance)
