Engine removal day 1
I spent all day just taking the accessories and wires off the engine. If I could ever make a worth while recommendation to someone doing an engine installation, it would be to focus on future engine removal when you are doing the installation. How can you make it as easy as possible to remove the engine because eventually it will happen so plan ahead.
My plane is not the easiest to work on. I really didn’t know much at the time I built it so the way I layered the wiring, hoses, accessories, baffling, etc is not as well planned out as I would like. When I upgraded N123LE, I made sure removing the engine would be as easy as possible and could easily do so in about 2-3 hours. On my plane It took me most of the day to prepare it for removal.
Lots of parts for sure.
