 You can now mount the oil thermostat. Find both oil lines which run from the oil cooler.
Fit them to the thermostat using hose clamps. Mark the clamps with red paint.
 Fix the thermostat around the manifold arm above cylinder head 3 using plastic ties.
 Leave the thermostat outputs for now, we will complete the thermostat installation once
the engine is mounted on the fuselage.
 Now fit the engine mount to the engine. Each of the four engine mount attach points is
captured by a bolt, two washers, two steel cups, two rubber shock absorbers and a
bushing, secured by a nylon lock nut. When the parts are assembled and the engine
mount point is secured between the rubber shock absorbers, the nut is tightened on the
bolt until the two steel cups bear directly on the bushing.
 Ensure that the rubber shock absorbers sit nicely and are not angled.
 Be sure to tighten all nylon lock nuts with a torque wrench to 24Nm and apply blue Lotite
243.
