my Corvair engine as I received it from DJ has a 1/4" pipe thread opening in theside of the filler neck for crankcase ventilation- are any of you flying withthat small of a vent and do you think it is enough? I 'm trying to get a cowlingmocked up and trying to get an idea if anything needs to change up there.also been wondering if you run a coil switcher like this one has. if you havehad any problems switching the coils over-never used one and wondering if momentarilyhaving both on might cause some type of damage -can't see how it wouldbut switching one off before turning the other on might cause a backfire.?

Subject: Pietenpol-List: EZ Turn Fuel Lube available from Wicks and Chief AircraftThis is the stuff I used on ALL fuel line threaded fittings---nary a leak ever. The old guysat the airport told me to use this and nothing else and they were right. http://www.wicksaircraft.com/catalog/pr ... nt.htmlAnd for those who don't know what a finger strainer is (see Bingelis books-fuel systems) they look like this-they keep the golf balls and beer cans from your fuel tank from going into your fuel delivery hose/tubing. (then there is the gascolator screen.....then there is another screen in your carb-hopefully)You take yer chances.Mike C.[X]________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Corvair flyers experience needed.Date: Tue, 15 Sep 2009 13:55:37 -0400
