Installed bottom cowl hinge
I riveted in the bottom cowl hinge and riveted the firewall to the bottom skin in between the two sections of hinge. As best I could, I jammed some high-temp RTV between the firewall and bottom skin.

I also used some RTV under the engine mount points and re-installed the mount and nose wheel assembly and re-torqued the bolts.
I think I’m offically ready for hanging the engine. Now I just need to rent a hoist and find an extra hand or two.
