Changing over to the 582

[Bandit 286]

Joey or Leni, do either one of you guys have any pictures of your 582 installation. I am going to start working on my switch over. I will be using cheek radiators and I am thinking of going with mixed gas, instead of oil injection. The firewall forward package I got did not come with the radiator cap and thermostat, where would I get those parts?

Thanks,

Mark

I am using a radiator cap off a snowmachine now (13 pound cap) and the thermostat came from NAPA. Are the cheek radiators the one that mounts to front of the engine / gear box like the MK IV or are they the ones that mount in the side of the cowling? If they are the cowling mounted ones, I would SERIOUSLY think about going to the belly radiator and tossing the others out the window (from about 15,000')

I will look on the laptop when I get up to the room in a bit and see if I have any pics of the install on mine.

I bet Randy (suberavid has some good shots of the engine on his MK IV which should be about the same as yours.

I can't find any pics of the MKIV FWF here at the house but I can take some of it if needed when I get out to the hangar (and if someone else doesn't send some first).

Here are a few pics of my first MK IV right after I got it. What in particular were you wanting to see? I can get some of my latest MK IV later if you want. Take care, Jim Chuk

Yes, my radiators look like they mount just like Jim's do, on each side of the gear box. I like looking at all of the pictures I can, makes it much easier for me.

Thanks Jim,

Your installation looks like mine should be. I will look at all of the pictures I can.

Joey,

Can you post up more pictures of your throttle control system there on top of the engine?? Mine has always been a pain in the ass and does not really work well. I was thinking about going over to a system like the Kitfox uses because the 3 I have flown the throttles were butter smooth. Mine is pretty damn stiff.

Thanks
