Hi all,
I did a search but couldn't find what I was looking for.
I bought a new IO320 from Vans (D1A) from Vans and I am about to install it in my RV9A.
I have the following questions:
1) There is the rear governor oil line from the front to the rear governor pad. Since I am fixed pitch, do I disconnect and change the front and rear fittings to plugs, or leave as is?
2) the rear governor pad has a cover plate that is painted but it has nuts and lock washers with 6 washers per stud securing it. Is this good to go the way it is or should I change the nuts and lock wire, etc?
3) I am not using the tach drive since I have a Garmin magnetic pick up. How do i cover the tach drive? is there a cap I can buy? I assume I dont leave the plastic cap on.
4) There is a front plug on the crank. Is this a shipping plug that needs to be replaced, or is this OK as is?
5) Should I assume the inner crank plug is missing or punctured already?
6) and yes I know about the fuel spider needing a proper plug.
Of course, I could just switch to a CS prop and then this is all easy; but why be the same as everyone else?
