We recently got a rebuilt Shvetsov for our An-2.

Unfortunately, nobody took pictures when they took the old engine off or remembers how everything goes back together (this was several years ago) and the manuals are written in poorly translated Polish. I've been all over trying to find pictures or a better set of manuals with no luck. We're currently stuck trying to figure out the primer line setup, which has to happen before the fire seal and engine mount can be installed.

Any Antonov folks on the board with pictures of the engine accessory section that we could use for reference?

I would ask @ the Yak list (forum for Yak-52, CJ-6 and all things commie)
Good bunch of guys.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll give them a shout.

if it is anything like the CJ-6s and YaK-52 , the primer is a -4 line that goes to a fitting and sprays into the blower, no primers nozzles on the cylinders like a American radial.
