INSTALLATION OF THE ENGINE

The under-surfaces of all O.S. engine beam
mounting lugs are precision machined flat and
exactyly parallel to the engine's horizontal axis. It is
essential that the engine mounts in the model are
also accurately made and aligned. If they are not,
they will cause stress and distortion within the engine
itself, probably resulting in loss of performance and
internal damage.
The recommended screws for securing the engine to
the engine mounts in the model are 4mm or 6-32 NC
steel Allen type. It is also advisable to use lock
washers or LOCTITE to prevent nuts from loosening.
