Brief Description: off with the Prop and oil all over
If anyone is reading this blog and has a good idea, NOW is the time to give it. I've been experiencing a high volume of oil coming out of the oil/air separator tube recently. I "think" it started happening after I added the oil cooler scoop. The exit is behind the prop about 10" I'm wondering if the cowl pressure and aft facing oil exit tube is cause the oil to be sucked out of the tube rather than allowing it to drain back to the sump. If so, I am curious if I can turn the tube around into ram air and cause the oil to be pushed back into the sump where it needs to go. I checked all the oil lines for clearance and it's good, but it's getting really annoying to clean up the aft end of my engine every flight. Again, I'm not looking to "pressurize" the sump, but rather give the oil a little push in the right direction instead of OUT. Anyone?
On another note, I removed the poor performing Catto and will be shipping it back for a new design. These UL engines are a whole different animal :) And that's a good thing :)
