Tonight I test fit the front baffles. The front right baffle was the easiest to install, and looks to be a good fit. The front left was more challenging, but after disconnecting the oil return line, I was able to get it into position. This one will need a little adjustment to properly conform to the engine casing, and a couple of corners that need some easing.
In the process of test fitting the front baffles I noticed that I had made an error with the front center bracket. Just like the aft bracket, I had misread the drawing and had it on the left side instead of the right side of the centerline. Then I noticed I had the bolt installed from left to right, instead of right to left, on both brackets. It’s probably not a big deal, but it always makes me nervous when I miss something or find an error. What else did I miss?
I fixed the errors with the bracket, installed the hardware and torqued the nuts.
