Ben are you planning to use the original
oilpan?
It seems a little very shallow...
How about a spacer ring of 1-2". You could
drill&thread it any place for a returnline. Don't forget to extend the
oil-pickup...

Subject: [FlyRotary] Renesis Oil
Pan
Fellow Rotatary Listers,
Doug Loheim ask me
about my return line for my RD1C gearbox, and if I had drilled the rotor
housing yet. I have not, and I told him that I was torn between drilling the
housing, or using the opening in the Renesis pan that contained a low oil
sensor. If I drill the housing, the oil will be returned to the top side of
the engine mount plate, and allow for the oil to settle back down before
returning to the pan. Using the sensor hole in the oil pan, the oil will
obviously be returned directly. My question is, how much air will be in the
oil after the gearbox. Will it be pretty clean, or will it be frothy and full
of air? Any thoughts?? Ed, Tracy, anyone else with lots of wisdom on the
subject?? Thoughts???
Thank you in
advance.
Ben
