 |
|
Hi all,
Mounted the MT Governor and VA-183 governor bracket to my O-360A-1-A today and noticed that the bracket is obstructing the the oil to cooler outlet on the engine.
A 45 degree nipple is installed there,which points down a bit to the left (as seen from behind the engine).The only way I think it could work is to turn the nipple about 180 degrees to face upwards.
The archives have something on this bracket,but not related to the oil line .
Wonder if someone else had this problem.

Karl, I had the same problem on an XP360 A1A. A straight fitting is too
close to the oil filter. Ken at Vans sent me a picture and said "do
something like this", meaning cut and trim. I was a little leery because of
the size of the notch I had to cut out so I welded a piece of scrap steel
along the bottom to make sure it was still solid. Probably not necessary.
BTW, "I" really means "a friend" welded the brace on the bracket. Hope
this helps.

On my current project with Aerosport IO-360-M1 I had the same situation- the 45 deg fitting from the oil outlet on the accessory housing points down, and a 45 deg fitting on the hose pointed toward the cooler nicely clears the governor bracket. I'm pretty sure this is also documented on the Checkoweb, see http://rvproject.com/search.html and do a search for oil hose.
