That's where I mounted my water temp sensor.

The little tube on the end housing next to the PSRU  should go to the swirl pot to get air out of the engine. Make sure you have a 3/32" or so restriction in that line.

Greetings Rotary Group!  After not working on my project since about 2008, I have finally retired now and am slowly getting back to working on my my RV9A project with Tommy James’s 13B which flew for 90 hrs. or so in about 2005-6.  As I look at the engine now, I noticed that I drilled out and installed a fitting on top of the water pump housing.  I’m pretty sure I added this based on circulating “best practices” at that time, but I now can’t remember what it should be connected to…maybe the bottom of a swirl pot?  

Thanks!

Doug
