Re: [FlyRotary] Fuel Filter Part Number Was  Re: EFI Filter Question
on my 20b I have now attached the mounting plate, and to it is now attached a 13b oil pan. (thank you, mick)  I realized that the stock oil dip stick no longer will work. (the oil pan is now front mounted, to the rear in the plane) will I have to use one of those plugged holes in the side of the pan now? (I think it was a low oil sensor hole?).
 
I am going to build an engine test stand so I can run the engine out at the airport.  any insights?  I was just going to weld some legs, attach some 3/4" plywood the shape of the firewall, thinking this might be helpful in sizing and fitting the cowling some day.  do most people run the actual prop or use a cutdown version? should I get a large car radiator with an electric fan for ground runups or attempt to cool with propwash?
