They both recommended that I safety wire the oil filter and dip stick. I can see their reasoning and agree with it.but I don't recall ever seeing it done on other rotary installations. Anyone have any insight here? (yep, safety wiring the dip stick makes checking the oil a little difficult - I think the point was to figure out a way to keep if from vibrating out.
