Engine Update April 2009 Updates April 18, 2009 Cowl Work.... - 4.0 hrs No building the last month. Realignment at work. Sure hope the economy turns around huh! Today I had to get back into the project. It had been so long the first hour was pretty much just looking at the cowl trying to remember where I was last time I was here. Next I removed the top cowl and drilled the holes for the cam recepticals. Removed deburred and cleaned up. You know the drill. Drilled the center holes thru the fiberglass in the cowl. Later these will be enlarged to 15/32's for the grommets which hold the phillips head fasteners. Then I reinstalled both cowl pieces and photoed the fit.
