getting new intake and oil drain rubber

Post by A2022 »

1250 hours, all untouched until now. getting new intake and oil drain rubber

took a look at my alternator field and parallel power wires. they look OK, I'll let them ride. tefzel wires. for the fundamentals like wire, bolts, hoses, alum mat'l, etc. work with stuff that has a spec. unlike TS Flighlines hoses that refuse to show you a hose spec. probably Chinese shit. I'll pass.

finished the intake and drain rubber. the intake gaskets were in pieces. I'll probably start changing those each 500 hours.

I wrap a spit poly tube around the oil drain in two places to protect them. it worked well for 1250 hours and burns in and makes a sweet mate to the cowl baffle wires. I refreshed them. good for another 1250 hours.
