I used a clear tube run down back dumps just inside the lower part of cowl exit, if anything drips I should spot it but all I have seen is some minor moisture in tube & yes 5/16" port near top of filler tube.   RV6A 13B Rotary  David

Subject: [FlyRotary] eccentric (crank) case ventalation

I am finally finishing my renesis rebuild, with so much help from this list-- thanks
 
My question is with regard to the ventilation of the case. it seems that the rotary has a nipple off of the filler tube for this purpose... (I don't think that I have that tube currently and will probably make one)
 
Using this port, is it a good idea to just plumb it out of the back of the airplane as with a crank case vent?
Is the amount of oil/vapor created significant enough to collect it and recycle it?
 
What ch'all doing?
 
Thanks again,
 
Rich
