Greetings,
I would first like to thank all for the great advice.
=C2=A0
I have a few final questions
=C2=A0
1. In plumbing the oil return, Tracy relates that using the OMP pad is= OK..=20 Is it. It seems to be somewhat above the output fitting on the RD1-c. Is th= at OK=20 or should I drain it lower if possible?
=C2=A0
2. The Renesis has a really small oil pan. Would it be advisable to=20 increase the size? If this is used, what oil level should be used?
=C2=A0
3. When the RD is disassembled for inspection, the 1/4" drilling = and stud=20 to pry it off of the plate makes sense. However the spacer and gearbox itse= lf=20 are mated-- how do you separate these without damaging them. I think they a= re=20 sealed together by RTV.
=C2=A0
Thanks again.. I hope in the future to be contributing on the other si= de of=20 questions.

Not flying yet, but here g= oes:

T= he easiest place for oil return is the base of the flywheel end rotor housi= ng, ~2" up from the pan mating line, **on the spark plug side of the e= ngine**.=C2=A0 Very short run and just slightly downhill. I drilled & t= apped 1/4" NPT & screwed in an adapter to AN-6 flair. I drilled &a= mp; tapped two places, & plugged one. I T'd the two drains as other= s have done, but I've got an easy plan B if the T'd line doesn'= t drain fast enough.

Pan size? I've got the stock one on now. If you go big= ger, don't forget to move the pickup down to the new bottom.=C2=A0

3. When yo= u do get 'em apart, there are sealants that don't harden...
