Hello All;
It's been awhile since I last posted, though I've been reading almost every post to sort of keep up with the latest developments.
    The last time I flew I was seeing lower oil pressures around 35-40 psi, so I decided to pull the front cover the other day. I had previously had a complete O-ring failure so had done the recommended fix at the time. When I pulled it the other day, everything looked good but obviously wasn't. I recalled Chris having a repeat of this last fall so searched the archives and found a reference to him pushing a small cylinder in there. There was also a previous post where Lynn commented on somebody else's idea of a Teflon washer being a good idea. So I've decided to do both. Attached pics should show in better detail than I could explain. I've done a trial fit, but will await comments before I assemble with sealant.
