When I got time to mount it in the carrier it had some material wrapped around the cooler fins I guess to keep it from wearing through ?? any how I found using wide hockey tape worked good and is very close to the original.

After having done those I went back to my dash panel and assembled it with all of the gauges and bits, Looks great

Recently I got around to run up the engine on a test stand I made up from a couple frame rails from a MK2 carrier that came as parts when I purchased mine. It worked out really good as all the mounting holes were there to install every thing. I used my dash panel with all of the gauges so I could test them as well to make sure everything was working before installing it into the carrier. I had it running for around 4-5 hours total and fixed a few minor issues I had and was well worth making the test stand. In the end it is running great and only needs to turn over 1 revolution to fire and very happy with the results

Engine Test Stand The Only Way To Fly
Hi Dave
Great work on the test stand, using the frame rails like that is such a good idea. Should make fitting in the eventual vehicle a lot easier. As you said now is the time to fix all the little problems and run in the engine. I always try to schedule engine testing for the winter great way to heat the shop each morning, ended up doing one engine in the summer and it got a little hot in the shop. Your whole project has been an interesting read. Keep up the good work. Cheers Phil

Thanks Phil, the stand will be put to good use as I have 4 more engines to run up. Recommend it to anyone if they can test run their engine before installation as it is a lot easier to do any kind of fixes before hand.
Today was another great day as I had a chance to install the engine into the carrier. Doug Lavoie came by to give me a hand to install it and he was a great help
