Yep. I agree Mike. The time lag in getting oil back up the passages to the front could well accelerate wear on starting up and also lead to delays in pumping the lifters back up if it had been standing for a prolonged time. I think the Jabiru engines had some well recognised problems with getting o

Thanks Tony. The mounting will have to be outdoors, what can we do to protect the composite, and how long until the damage starts to go beyond easily reparable in this north Texas climate? We will do no irreparable damage. -Original Message- From: Tony King via KRnet To: KRnet Cc: T

It would probably help to distribute the oil evenly in the pan for a brief time before start if the engine was level. Not sure what that would do for you. A common practice that I have used for engines that have been sitting for a while is to oil prime the cylinders, put new oil in the crankcase,

I havent been in the air yet so I'm hesitant to speak up.? But, I do have moroso pre-oiler in my race car and a couple street cars. Sometimes months go by before they get driven, plus the added insurance at the track. I already have one for the corvair that Im building as 80% of all engine wear

Thank you John and wife for inviting everyone to such a truly lovely place. It's all so beautiful up there I'd forgotten what it's like. It was a wonderful treat to experience such lush vegetation. Abundant moisture with no feeling of humidity like we'd get in the South (southern United States).

Gene said, "Michael, sorry but oil level can't be that high or the crank would be fighting to get through the oil on every revolution." Oh well . . . it sure sounded like it made sense. How about the thought that when we shut the engine down the oil that's been circulating then drains thanks to
