Adjusting Coolant Inlet Elbow
Still struggling with the cooling system on a Kitfox IV w/ 912ULS.
In order to get the final hose installed from cylinder 4 to the water pump, I need to adjust 4's cooling inlet fitting by about 10 degrees so it's not pointing directly at the engine mount. There's no way to install a hose without a kink in it otherwise. (Old hose had significant kink.)
Looking through the MM, I don't see any text about removing or adjusting those fittings. There is a star next to them (page 336), but I find no correlating star in the text.
Going back a few pages to the water pump disassembly and reassembly, the same part numbers can be removed after heating to 180 degree F cleaned and re-assembled with a minimum of 5 turns and Loctite 243.
Is the procedure the same for the cylinder mounted elbows as the water pump? Am I missing something in the MM text?
