Does anybody know if the 1.5 inch spacer for the Casper Labs 90 degree oil filter housing would be the right one for the IO-540 installation on the RV-10? Vans has three different sizes and they say that the 1.5 inch will fit most RV installations, but when I called and asked specifically about this installation, they did not have an answer. I would love to hear from anyone who has installed this adapter.

I notice that this product as advertised in Spruce does not mention any spacers.

Anybody know how to get in touch with Casper Labs? Google does not get me there.

I'm not sure if Casper Labs is different but here is a B&C adapter with a

1.5" spacer on my -10.

Dave,



What sort of tubing did you use on the crankcase vent line?

I have not done the crankcase vent line yet. The engine is hanging on the hoist in my hangar. Probably won't mount it for another couple of weeks.

Thanks for the responses on the spacer. Sounds like the 1.5 is the right one.

I've used SCAT tube there on a couple installations.  It seems to work

nicely and it's much easier to manage.

Anyone considered the 45 degree adapter ECI sells?

I have one on mine with 310 hrs on the plane.  What do you need to know?

The breather tube has to be talked to in order to clear the filter.  Otherwise, nothing else to worry about.



I drain my oil overnight and have zero drip when I remove the filter the next day.

Great. Exactly what I wanted to know. Looks like the tach drive might

be a bit tight. I gather there is no issue with the engine mount or

cowling clearance.

The tach drive is indeed very close but I can't tell you how close,  

based on my memory.  Of course, if you are using any kind of glass  

panel, you will not need the tach cable.



If you need to know how close they are, I will have to look when I  

take the cowl off.  Let me know.



There are no issues with the mount or cowl.  You will need the 1.5  

inch spacer for the adopter.
