Touchdown - The Engine Is Out

With the Engine Mounting Thrust Adjusting Lock Nut removed and wiring labelled and disconnected, I needed to make one more similar tool using a 13mm socket as the base. This removed the Engine Mounting Thrust Adjuster. I then removed the remaining engine nuts with an 8mm Allen key connected to a log handled torque wrench, and used the motorcycle jack to lower the engine out of the chassis.

And touchdown!

With the engine out I snuck a look in the exhaust ports and noticed something interesting. Compare cylinder 4 (left) with cyclinder 1 (right).

Tomorrow I plan to take the head off and take a closer look.

Cheers,
