Because the exact same thing ha...

Differential pressure gauge for turbo engines?
I don't see this gauge in the LOBO rental test equipment. Does anyone know if it is part of the package or not? https://www.lancairowners.com/continental-engine-test-equipment The PortaTest is wildly pricey so that's not happening.

Re: Engine install
Thanks, Brad.

Is there a button I am not seeing?
I did a FAQ search.
I tried looking at all new posts and then logging back in, they are still there.
Thanks. This forum is a lot easier than the previous one.
I appreciate all the efforts that go into this.

Engine install
I am putting my replacement engine in.
What is the general order of the procedure?
Ie here are some general components; would putting them out of order make the process more difficult?
The fuel & intake system is installed already.
Baffles
Hoses
Exhaust
Accessories
Prop
Thanks!
