There should be an O ring installed on the inside of the prop shaft. Also,
the torque should be on a decal on the cyliner of the prop. However,
strongly recommend that you obtain the Hartzell Owners/Installation Manual
115 N gives all the requirements for installation, which is on line and
available here:

Hi Matt,
I am a slow builder, so I am not sure I can answer this correctly. In the
slow build, the ramp is riveted on before the side pieces, so it is regular
bucked rivets. From the picture, I cannot tell if the platenuts for the
pedals are installed. Also, several people have talked about vibration of
the exhaust ramp. I ended up stuffing the area tightly with closed cell
foam to reduced that tendency. Others have used expanding foam. Perhaps a
QBuilder can answer this better?

Dear Listers,
I just noticed that the exhaust ramp only has a couple of temporary rivets
installed from the QB process. I can't for the life of me figure out why
they didn't rivet this already?? I hesitate to rivet it if there is
something I'm suppose to do before it gets riveted on...? The aft side isn't
riveted yet either and it looks like the only way this is going to be
rivetable is with pop rivets. Is that true?
Here are a couple of pictures of what I'm talking about.

Well, now that I found my Hartzell installation manual (!), there appears to be
a need for a "special" tool that I don't have. Because the bolts for the prop
require and "end-wrench" of sorts to tighten, it presents somewhat of a problem
when trying to torque them. The manual shows an end-wrench looking thing
that has the 7/16" on one end and a 3/8" drive on the other end. I looked though
the Craftsman and Snapon web sites, but didn't find anything like this. Where
might I buy one?
Thanks!

It's possible to roll your own using a flex head wrench, above.

| Subject: | IO-390 Governor Cable Routing... |
Hey, first I wanted to say thanks for the feedback on all my other questions!
So I ran the Governor cable today and it came out pretty nice and seems to work
well. The only thing that seems a little 'if-y' is how I had to route the cable
over the top of the oil sump. Is this SOP or should the cable be isolated
from the sump some how? I guess I could make a standoff bracket to hold it up
off the sump, but do I really need to? The cable is currently resting on the
sump.
Thanks!
