23/03/2010 No 4 Goes Home
Saturday morning we finished putting all the plumbing back on the No 4 engine. We were blessed (??) with a wet day, but working under a big triangular umbrella kept us fairly dry.

The engine ready for re-installation. |
We used aluminium sheets to cover the rough patches on the concrete pan, so we could roll the engine and stand (all three tons of it) into position under the engine bay. |
The engine lifted clear of the stand. |

And here she is in position. The front mounting bolt has been fitted and the A-frame released and partially lowered. The pip pins are in place under the main trunnions, and Bovril is busy installing the trunnion bolts. |
