Subject: Pietenpol-List: direct info from Dan HelsperThank you for filling us in on Tim's situation departing Oshkosh Dan. I was lookingatthe historical weather data for Sunday at 2 pm (which was when the photo was taken)and the winds were a direct crosswind from 270 at 15, gusting to 20 mph but evidentlythey had bigger problems with that weld breaking.

Dan, as I recall the oil temp probe is contained in the small nut on theback of the oil screen. You have to loosen that nut before unscrewing thelarge on, or you will twist and damage the oil temperature probe.Be sure you have a new crush gasket to replace the gasket when you finish -they are not reusable. Aircraft Spruce sells them. AN 900-28, as I recall.Those are about the only words of wisdom I can add to Mike'sJack PhillipsNX899JPRaleigh, NC-----Original Message-----

Jack is correct. It is an AN 900-28 and is not re-useable. I bet if you scrounge around the airport you will find someone with a stash.
