Slip the induction box (CLE-07) onto the
brass tube at the rear of the engine. Referring
to Engine Photograph 2, holding an induc-
tion pipe (CLE-16) in place, flanged end
against a flat on the CLE-07, position the
flat on the induction box so that the flat side
of the other end of the pipe meets the center
of the flanged pipe on the intake rocker arm.
Properly aligned, it will be at a slight angle.
Glue CLE-07 to the crankcase. Dry fit each
induction pipe and adjust the flat as neces-
sary to fit against the pipe on each CLE-15i
and glue them into place. File off any part of
each induction pipe that extends above the
edge of the flanged pipe on parts CLE-15i.

Glue the igniter ring (CLE-08) to the induc-
tion box so that the holes line up between
each pair of cylinders and the small gear faces
away from the engine. Now glue the engine
subassembly to the crankshaft tube so that
one end of the tube is flush with the outer
surface of the small gear on the igniter ring.
Glue the exhaust rocker arms (CLE-15e) in
place on the cylinder heads. Cut the 18 valve
lifters (CLE-13) from the provided lengths
of 1/16" brass rod. It is suggested that you
cut them to 15/16" and then file them down
to achieve the best fit. Slide a tappet seat
(CLE-14) onto the brass rod and glue into
place, referring to Engine Photograph 3.

Complete the engine group by attaching the
ignition wires (WP1218) from the igniter
ring to the spark plugs, referring to Engine
Photograph 4. Cut 18 4" lengths of black
thread. Feed each pair of threads through
one of the nine holes in the igniter ring and
tie them to the sparkplug terminals. Alligator
clips or other small clamps can be used on
the thread ends that emerge from the hole to
act as weights to keep the threads taut as you
fix them and the knots with a drop of glue.
Trim off the excess thread and repeat the
process for the other eight cylinders.
