I am about to embark on putting on the prop and fitting the spinner.
1. Install the prop according to the manufacturers instructions. What flange is on the IO-390?
2. 44-04: I assume that step 2 can be ignored: Remove spark plug from each cylinder so that the prop can be rotated to drill. Everything that I have read (including the plans) says to not rotate the prop if you want preserve the pickling of the engine. So just leave prop in place and drill.
3. Do most people put the prop on at this point and leave it in place? I know that it has to be in place for the cowling fitting, but then can I just put it back in the box and install later
4. If I do install permanently, then the plugs have to be remove from the engine. Does removal of these impact the pickling of the engine?
Thanks
Ken
