Engine and Firewall Forward Kit

Oil Cooler TCW Air Valve install  ( 3 hrs )

Painted semi-gloss black, mounted bracket to bottom IP for Oil Cooler Air Valve (from TCW).  Reference prior build log Feb 2.  Positioned valve on Oil Cooler to align with push-pull cable.   After routing cable through Firewall, I cut cable to length.  (Since not part of Vans instructions, it takes longer examining options and measuring 3 times).   Mounted air valve with (2) AN526 632R6 screws & MS1042 06 metal locknuts.   Sealed with hi-temp RTV.  Temporary attached cable---will finish tomorrow.
Cable control and bracket installed.   
Trying one of several labels Stein Air provided.
Ready to complete cable attachment.  But
first need to secure cable to engine tube with
Adel cushion clamps (where blue tape is now)
