Well, I've been gotcha'ed again. I have my engine installed and have been hooking it up and I decided to look a bit ahead at the oil pressure transducer installation when I stumbled upon a disturbing note on drawing OP-27 which reads "For older engines, install VA-128 prior to mounting engine..." My engine is an older engine and sure enough, there is slight interference with the engine mount. I cannot turn the fitting.
Are there any other alternatives out there besides taking several steps back and removing all I've done and pulling the engine? I guess I could pull the fuel pump, carb linkage, carb, oil sump, and the accessory case instead.
There is another port, 3/8" in diameter that is near the prop govenor pad. Can I tap off this?
