Wow! I certainly didn't expect such a broad response.

Okay, here's the current situation: I have no fully completed blocks in stock; and I'm probably a week short of completing my biennial refurb/reorg/update of my shop. So the earliest I can supply any blocks will be about the 22d of this month.

The Oil Distribution Blocks come in two flavors, FC/FD pattern (ODB01-A1) and Renesis (ODB02-A1)- from the top, they are identical. They are designed to receive oil from a remote mounted oil filter. Input on the -A1 models is via a 1/2" NPTF port at the outboard end of the block (see photos). The block comes with two corrosion resistant cap screws as seen in the previous photo, which - by the way - I forgot to credit to Bobby Hughes (Thank you Bobby.) The blue AN8 fitting in the first photo is for illustration, and is not included in the delivered product.

Charlie England asked if I made a direct mount oil filter that would clean his cowl. In 2005, I did make one - see the second photo below - which put the filter righ above the rear rotor's spark plug. It was ~way~ too expensive to make to have any hope of marketing it, unless I could have them investment cast. That's not practical for less than 100 units.

Another question was what else I offer for the rotary. Initially, I replied that I only made the oil blocks. I'd forgotten about the oil pump spacer. See third photo. For that matter, I've made, but never sold, a block for the EGR port. I think anyone with a hacksaw, a file, and a hand drill could make one (last photo.)

Anyway, for the rest of the year, the blocks are $55.00 - delivered to your address. That's been the price since 2006. Specify whether or not it's for a Renesis, there's a 6.8mm difference in a critical dimension.
