Kevin, Is that 1/4 I.D. or O.D.? A quick glance at Aircraft Spruce didn't didn't turn up anything, but I found them at McMaster-Carr as part number 5454K65 ...

Hello everyone, I have a O200A that I need to dispose of and I need some expert advise from the list on how I should proceed to maximize my return. The engine...

Ron It is good to hear from you. Thanks for the information and the word on what you are doing. Will be coming up to Tahoe next year and will see you if my...
The heat sink material came from an electronics store in Boulder, CO. They have a lot of salvage material. If I were to do it over I would make the heat sink...
The drain back is simply gravity. You must provide a big enough connection to allow the oil to drain even when cold, any restriction would be bad. Rob ...
Thanks Rob. These photos provoke more questions. How does your scavenge pickup system work? Could you add some photos of your oil cooler? Thanks. Sam...
From my experience with the long filler neck on the carbon fiber sump, it should be gusseted and braced. Otherwise engine vibration, particularly at start up,...
Hi Martin Neat job, just what I was thinking, for Sam. Where did you get the finned heat sink? I'd weld 5 together to make a box sump for engine. Great work...
I have uploaded pictures of my dry sump. It's worked well for about 250 hours and gives the best oil cooling I have ever had. The heat sink fins are the reason...

Sam How about some large finned allot heat sinks welded together? I think they extrusions are up to 15" wide, the alloy will be soft but the finning will...

Good idea, Earnest, but I think the list price on an old fashioned steel sump is around $2,000 - maybe worse. Here are some photos of the latest TCM sumps: ...
Does anyone know what the new O200D oil sump is made of? It may not fit, Sam, but worth a look. You might be able to trade dollars for time. Earnest Martin 40...
