Finally some time over for assembling the engine! I know you have seen these assembly pics 100 times before but bear with me.
The new thrust bearing in place.
To be able to torque the compressor housing bolts in an easy way I made a jig plate for the shaft tunnel, earlier I have had to hold the engine with one hand and torque it with the other. Not very practical...
That´s more like it, why didn´t I make this jig earlier?
Now was the time to wire lock some bolt heads!
To torque the turbine housing bolts I used the rotary table to hold the engine, under each bolt head I use a Nordlock washer to make sure the bolts won´t come lose.
This is as far as I made it before I ran out of batteries in the portable Baby Watch, much more space on the working table now.
Cheers!
