 Posted: Thu Apr 23, 2009 3:49 pm Post subject: Heads up on mounting engine before riveting front cowling |
 |
|
I'm in the process of pulling the engine off so I can rivet the front
cowling on. It seemed like putting the engine on and doing some of the
work before riveting on the front cowling was a good idea. I know
others have done it. It still seems like a good idea. However, I'm
unable to rivet the cowling on with the engine in place. Even with a
few pop rivets, I am unable to get to the 2 or 3 rivets behind 8amp
alternator.
Not a big deal but unexpected. Still seems like the best way to go
given the ease of wiring and panel work with cowling of and the engine on.

Have you tried just using the hoist and lifting the engine weight off the
plane? seems a little easier than removing it all together.
Good information BTW!
Thanks!

I was able to rivet all but one or two places on the firewall with the engine already on. I did remove the SD-20 alternator.
