New owner with leaking oil inlet hose

    Heading up to check that plug soon.
    Think I found the torque spec in the bottom of the attached, 133 inch lbs?

    2 questions
    When I apply the 243, do I have to wait the 24 hrs for full cure before I purge?

    When I purge, mine has a thermostat installed. The video only says care must be taken. How do I purge with cold oil and a thermostat installed?

    Thanks!

    243 is anaerobic, it starts to cure as soon as the oxygen is removed, so we find it is sealed in 10 min but give it 30 min to be sure.
    Torque is 15Nm (135 in lbs)
    Purge process is the same, what type of 'stat do you have?

    30 min and 135 inch lbs it will be, thank you for that! I've worked on all kinds of motors but this is the first time I'm working on any airplane motor, just want to make sure everything is done correct until I get more familiar.

    Ill be at airport in about 15 min and will check the theromstat.

    This king if I start the motor and warm the oil up to temp then could fix it and hope it doesn't cool off by the 30 min are up?
    Also have a pre heat on block and oil tank, would that help the stat?

    Appreciate the help Rob!!
