 Posted: Sun Dec 06, 2009 3:52 pm Post subject: Baffle Clearance with Engine |
 |
|
Hi, I just wanted to do a sanity check before trimming. I am doing the
initial fitting of the aft #6 cylinder baffle assembly to the engine. I
have a little bit of the baffle rubbing with the engine mounting ears
and some around the curvy part of the engine by the rear baffle mount,
bolted to the engine.
1. It's okay to trim some of the baffle material away to create a bit of
clearance with the engine? I can't imagine leaving this rubbing, as it
will rub engine paint off and then eventually something more.
2. Did anyone else have to remove half the engine mounts to install the
#5 and #6 aft baffles? It gets tight in that space between the engine
and mounts and that was the only way I could accomplish it.
I was a bit worried about undoing the one of the top engine mount bolts,
but the engine did not torque itself off the mount, thankfully.

Suggest putting chicken trak around the baffling edges that rub and proseal
the trak in place. Then you won't have the baffling abrading the mounting
ears.

Typically the baffling will 'mold' itself around the mounts where it
rubs. The baffling is much softer and will make it's own interference
fit. Trimming and high temp red silicone work really well tool.
