I have a new IO360, can anyone fill me in on the "oil-air seperator"
"breather" situation.<<<<

I found that all the commercially available air/oil separators were too big
to nicely fit on my firewall.  So, I made my own out of available aluminum
parts and it measures about 2" OD and about 4 inches tall with a drain on
the bottom.  It works good too.  If there is enough interest and Marve
would like, I will send him a drawing and picture for inclusion in the
Lancair Network News along with some instructions.  You need to find a
friend with a TIG welder though.  Prop repair shops will be able to do the
welding.

Making your own oil/air is not rocket science.  Of course, if you can find
an existing air/oil separator that fits, go for it.
