I wrapped up the oil change by installing a steel cap that Greg gave me to replace the aluminum one that I previously had installed. \u00a0I installed and torqued it down in order to mark where to drill for safety wire, then removed and drilled it. \u00a0I now no longer have any aluminum fittings anywhere forward of the firewall containing flammable liquids (oil, fuel and brake fluid). \u00a0I then filled the engine with oil.<\/p>\n
