I received my new TMX IO-360 engine a few days ago, and the mounting studs for the prop governor have not been installed.

   

  It came with a bag containing the studs, washers, star washers, and nuts, but I have absolutely no idea how to install the hardware and I can't find any references online.

   

  Can someone tell me how the studs go in (they are asymmetrical -- more threads on one end) and where the nuts/washers/star washers go? Also, what type of sealant is used on the gasket for the governor?

   

  Thanks.

Geoff:

  

 Before installing, I would determine which prop govenor  you will be using..  Different govenors require different length  studs.  They did you a favor by not installing something you might have to  change anyway.  If you determine that the ones your have are correct; I  would double nut the long thread end.  The studs are usually an  "interference fit" into the case.  That is that they are about .001 in  larger than the threaded holes in the case.  I would use " Lock-Tite"  compound on them anyway to prevent any chance of oil seepage.  Use a wrench  on the outer nut to screw them into the case.  I would not bottom them out  in the case.  After they're installed, remove the nuts.  It is not  necessary to use any kind of sealant on the gasket, in fact I would recommend  that you don't.

  

 This has been my experience with the ones I have worked  on.  The usual caveat----YMMV.
