 Posted: Mon Jun 25, 2007 2:00 pm Post subject: Forsling exhaust & Van's breather tube |
 |
|
John " The Turbinator" Cox, performed an EAA Tech Councilor review of my
project this weekend. Yes, in addition to his being an A&P IA, and all
the other alphabet suffixes he has earned he is now ALSO an official EAA
Tech Councilor ! (big hand for John!).
One of the things John pointed out to me was the fact that the stock
Van's breather tube exits on top of the Forsling exhaust. A Hot exhaust
collector is not really the place you want oil to drip on in flight. The
fix is to bend the existing or fabricate a new tube that will leave any
oil deposits well clear of a hot exhaust.
I know there are other's who have or are ordering or have ordered John
Forsling's exhaust so I'm posting this for their benefit. I have no
idea where/how the breather tube and the Vetterman exhaust coexist.

It has been common practice for years to have the breather tube exit on top
of the exhaust to keep the belly of the plane clean. Some even inject the
breather inside the exhaust to burn it. It would be interesting to see if
there are any reports of problems with the breather on top of the exhaust.

Deems,
You could always plumb it into the exhaust and overfill the engine crankcase with oil. Then you'd have a homebrewed smoke system:)

Gary,
My previous post was not meant to be a jab. I guess I should read a thread completely before opeing my mouth and inserting the keyboard.

Hi Deems,
Say hi to Parker for me!!
Vansairforce site has a long debated discussion on the practice of dumping the crude from the breather onto the exhaust, which always seems to lead to the pro vs. con of the infamous oil separator debate.

Buildus interuptus, almost through the last great minor home improvments. Waiting for the panel to show.
