Could other builders please indicate if you've gone to the effort of installing an air/oil separator on your IO-540 engines?



If so what is the recommended type and location of same in the engine compartment please?



Any pictures of installations would be greatly appreciated too please.



Warm regards and wishing you all safe skies.

This is what I'm using.  It works.   I collect the oil - not return it to the engine.  I empty out a couple of ounces each oil change.

You might want to check out this thread on VAF that I started on Air oil sep and oil consumption  http://www.vansairforce.com/community/showthread.php?t=92980.  I have the Anti-splat A/O sep and am very happy with the results.  If you mount it on the firewall, be sure to pick up either the cross brace, or support it in more than the two mounting tabs provided.  The SS firewall is not thick enough to support the weight of the Separator on it's own.  Here is another couple of threads on the subject of installation   http://www.vansairforce.com/community/showthread.php?t=42386&highlight=air+oil+seperator, and a photo of my installation.

Did you also install the 'Anti-Splat' vacuum valve and exhaust port drain tube?



Warm regards
