Chapter 23 – Baffle install update

I had yet another very busy day in prep for my upcoming holiday adventures, again getting nearly nothing done in the shop.

I did carefully remove all the wood supports and straps that secured cylinder #1 and #4 baffles in place during glue cure.

First off though, here is a pic of the elusive frontside baffle on cylinder #3.  I finally remembered to grab a shot!

And here we have the baffle now secured to the aft side of cylinder #1.

Finally, here is the baffle for the front side of the cylinder #4.

That’s all I have to report for today.  I do plan on machining the standoff supports for the aft-side baffle on cylinder #2 ASAP to get that mounted.  Then it will back to the top center area on each side of the engine to get the inter-cylinder baffle pieces installed.
