system pipe. Apply Loctite 577.
 Remount the manifolds using blue Loctite 243. Mark the bolts with red paint.
 Remove the spark plugs and check the electrode gap. It should measure 0.5 mm. Adjust
accordingly.
 Remount the spark plug, being sure not to tighten them too much because it could crack

 Mount the propeller control arm. Apply blue Loctite 243 to ensure it does not loosen.
