 |

Received my new Mattituck Red/Gold TMX IO-540, feels great but have some questions. 1) Wondering if there will be a problem with the angled oil filter adaptor so close to the firewall, 2) I have a McCaulley prop governor I was going to use on my RV6 but never did, is there any reason I can't use it on this 540 with Hartzell blended airfoil?

Dave, I don't know the answers to your questions, as you are ahead of me, but I also have a McCaulley governor, and had assumed it will work. Hopefully someone can confirm this for us.

If it were me I would see if it fits on the engine. Get the model number and
contact McCauley Product Support at 1-800-621-7767.

The standard angled oil filter adapter from Mattituck does fit the engine mount. When installing the engine, you need to swing the back of the engine down and under the engine mount bar, but it does fit with plenty of clearance. It's much better to change the oil with the angled adapter than with the straight adapter, which puts the back of the oil filter just aft of flush with the firewall (sticking into the firewall box just slightly).
I can't speak to the prop governor, as I have only used the MT from Van's, but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work. You may need to do some adjustments as have been necessary with some of the MT's, but that should be all. I'm no governor expert, however, so you might want to talk to one of those.
