is the same model with the 330hp (?) Jacobs.

One of the ones I've worked on caused me some grief. Some halfwitted individual of questionable judgement had mounted the battery overflow jar to the panel you had to remove to access it from under the aircraft.
Unfortunately they had mounted it in such a way thay removing the panel immediately resulted in any acid in the bottle pissing out & covering whoever was removing the panel.
Burnt the darn Tshirt to shreds & left me with black tattoos that lasted a week from the dye in the shirt... JUST missed my face.

NEXT time I work on that aircraft I'm not removing ther darn panel because I have a feeling that it was put back exactly the same way by the guy who installed it while I wasn't there...
