Dry fit the Front and Rear Covers to the Crankcase. Attention: There is a correct and wrong way to
assemble them. The Crankcase cylinder locations have a recessed "T" in them, if holding the
Crankcase in your left hand vertically the leg of the T should point away from you. See picture below.
The Front Cover has double sets of 14 bolt heads, while the Rear Cover has 12 single spaced bolt
heads. The Front Cover double bolt heads should be spaced between the cylinder location rings. See
picture below. Now dry fit the 5/32" x 13/16" Brass Tube into the holes in both Covers and file or ream
the holes to fit if necessary. Once all parts are dry fitted and orientated correctly glue them together.
Medium CA applied to the recesses in the Crankcase will allow a little time to adjust. Acetone can
clean excess CA or release a glue joint when liberally applied and allowed to work in the joint.
File any parting lines and clean the fourteen (14) Cylinders. Drill 1/32" or slightly smaller holes in the
ends of the spark plugs to receive the Copper Ignition Wires. Magnification will help and use a scribe
to press a starting point for the drill bit on the end of the Spark Plug. Paint the Cylinders Hull Spar
Black except for the surfaces to be glued. Then paint White the tapered part only of the spark plugs
and do not paint shut the drilled holes for the ignition wires.
