Brief Description:  Finish FWF Wiring / Install Oil Breather Tube / Re

Started off installing the remaining two pieces of the oil breather line - from the baffle to the separator, and from the separator down to exit below the fuse bottom.

Installed pieces using 5/8" ID rubber hose and hose clamps. For the lower vent outlet, I secured it with cable ties against the motor mount. It aligns right next to the fuel tank vent.

Finished running all wires and routings for firewall forward. Re-connected and re-routed connections to the RDAC to allow me to bundle the upper and lower sides in a harness bundle so that they're not flopping about. Secured the excess lengths of EGT probe cables to one of the motor mount tubes. Redid several cable ties to accomodate the new routings.

Re-routed the tach sense wire, which actually is fed off of the voltage regulator. Prior, the wire (22 ga) was just run vertically by itself. I was concerned about flexing, so I spliced-in a new length of wire and extended it to an existing wire bundle.

Fortunately, Sonex sends two complete plug wire kits with the engine (hmmm... what do they know that we don't?) The existing cable from the right rear cylinder (#3) to the left coil was too tight - was about to pull out of the connector, so I made up a new one from the spare cables.

Two months from hanging the engine over the Christmas break to the completion of the wiring, plumbing, and cooling (but there were several off-days or shortened work days).
