Hello all,
So I started today to mount my engine on the plane. Lycoming sent the engine with the mounting brackets for me to install. My question is what tool do you use to tightened the forward two nuts on each bracket - especially the ones on the bottom of the engine. A socket doesn’t fit and my crowsfoot doesn’t work either. Not to mention these probably need to be torqued to ( my guess around 190 in lb) there was no manual or documents with the engine giving specs. (Plan on calling Lycoming about this Monday)
One thought I had was to file down the crowsfoot but see this could just break when I try to get the correct torque.
Any advise you guys have would be most welcome
