Date: Wed, 7 Feb 2001 15:29:19 -0600 X-Mailing-List: lancair.list@olsusa.com Reply-To: lancair.list@olsusa.com Mime-Version: 1.0 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<--->>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> << Lancair Builders' Mail List >> <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<--->>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >> When I built my first ES, the manual did not call for a sniffle valve on the non-turbo'ed engine. The manual calls for a restricted-flow elbow, threaded into a (flush) FU-2 type brass plate. Conversations with tech support (back about '98) confirmed that no sniffle valve was called for. The flush plate is a bad idea, as any drainage from it just sorta slides and slimes its way all the way back to the tail. A short, 45-degree-angled tube works much better. Any ideas about the sniffle valve for the IO-550-N? Needed or not?
