Re: [FlyRotary] oil return location?
From a previous
post...
The front cover oil outlet fitting is a 16mm X 1.5,
and the drain plug appears to be a 14mm x 1.5 (haven’t verified that yet).
The mystery port for oil return is an 18mm x 1.5. Maybe the drain
plugs were different sizes in different years, but it doesn’t look like this one
will be fitting anywhere else.
Now that I’ve discovered these fittings, I’ll probably return the redrive
oil directly to the pan, via a 14mm to AN6 fitting that I’ll put in the drain
plug hole. The added bonus to this will come when it’s time to drain the
oil. My drain plug is over the radiator, and would have been a mess to
change oil. Now, all I have to do is remove the flex hose at the bottom of
the redrive, and lower it below the level of the oil pan. Pretty neat
:-)
