Dry fit the
Front
and
Rear Covers
to the
Crankcase
.
Attention:
There is a
correct
and
wrong
way to
assemble them. The
Crankcase
cylinder locations have a recessed
“
T
”
in them, if holding the
Crankcase
in your left hand vertically the leg of the T should point away from you. See picture below.
The
Front Cover
has double sets of 14 bolt heads, while the
Rear Cover
has 12 single spaced bolt
heads. The
Front Cover
double bolt heads should be spaced between the cylinder location rings. See
picture below. Now dry fit the
5/32” x 13/16” Brass Tube
into the holes in both
Covers
and file or ream
the holes to fit if necessary. Once all parts are dry fitted and orientated correctly glue them together.
Medium CA applied to the recesses in the
Crankcase
will allow a little time to adjust. Acetone can
clean excess CA or release a glue joint when liberally applied and allowed to work in the joint.
File any parting lines and clean the fourteen (14)
Cylinders
. D
rill 1/32” or slightly smaller holes in the
ends of the spark plugs to receive the
Copper Ignition Wires
. Magnification will help and use a scribe
to press a starting point for the drill bit on the end of the
Spark Plug
. Paint the
Cylinders Hull Spar
Black
except for the surfaces to be glued. Then paint White the tapered part only of the spark plugs
and do not paint shut the drilled holes for the ignition wires.
