Once satisfied with the fit of the Rocker Arm assembly, add a 0-80 Nut to the bottom of the Pushrod
to rest on the post of the Cam Cover and glue the Rocker Arm Assembly in place trapping the
Pushrod. Repeat the process for the balance of the Cylinders noting that there are two different
lengths as mentioned earlier needed for the front and rear rows of Cylinders. See the pictures above.
Align the Igniter Ring posts with Spark Plugs and glue in place. Insert a 1/8" drill bit to align the
Igniter with the 5/32" Brass Sleeve in the Crankcase. Take a length of the thin Copper Wire and
stretch it slightly holding each end with pliers to straighten and harden the wire. Now insert one bent
end of the Copper Wire into the hole on the Spark Plug and down to the post on the Igniter and cut to
length with a slight bend to fit into the post on the Igniter. To glue the wire in place first insert it into the
post on the Igniter and bend forward straight into the hole on the spark plug. This will avoid having to
bend and distort the wire trying it the other way. Repeat the process for the balance of the Cylinders.
See the pictures above and on the next page.
Now using a 1/8" drill bit inserted through the Interrupter Cam and into the Engine align the Cam and
carefully glue in place without gluing it to the drill bit. Let the glue tack off remove the drill bit and test fit
onto the Crankshaft coming out of the Fuselage to check for any interference. The Engine should be
free to rotate on the 5/32" Brass Sleeve in the Crankcase.
