While wainting for the proseal to dry, I begin the installations on the engine. First an non event, the hanging of the alternator. All the parts fit right out of the box. I still have to safety wire the bolts and install the belt properly.



Then I reinstall all the baffling. There is some cutting and tweaking ahead. This is the rear bracket, with one of the injection lines.



And the engine with all the baffles installed.



To end the working session, I decided to fabricate the baffles lower connecting rods. A task not as easy as anticipated. One has just to cut, bend and thread some stainless steel pins. The picture shows two of the four rods. The threading was somewhat difficult and it weakened the lower ro enough that when I tried to get a better bend radius the rod just broke. A new order for Vans lies in the future.
