Paul,
Good luck on your first run. That's a big milestone. I see that your radiator
is a dual pass design. From what I see in the picture, I would put a small fitting on the
uppermost point of the left tank and run it back to the side fitting of the expansion
tank. Otherwise, I don't see how air pockets can be cleared. Also, the exp.
tank needs to be higher than the thermostat housing else you can never fully
fill the system.

Hi, fellow rotary enthusiasts....Here are a couple of pictures of my 13b
engine installation. I'm getting ready to start it and only run it for
possibly 30 seconds and then check for leaks, etc. I would appreciate any
comments regarding anything that doesen't look right. The alternator belt
is not on in this picture, but it will be. Also, the oil cooler is
temporarily bypassed just to see if it runs, then I'm taking the banjo
fittings to the local hydraulic shop to have hoses crimped on. I checked
for spark, and it appears adequate. Thanks for any and all input. Paul
