Interesting discussion about the vernatherm. Sounds like it functions
precisely like a car's thermostat, but in the oil cooling system.
Unfortunately, I have never heard of this "thing" before the last few days.
Is it a part of a standard engine? Where is it located? Is it in the engine
or is it external? Who makes it? Has anyone asked Lancair about the use of
it? How can I know if my engine has one? If I don't have one and want one,
where would I get one for an IO360 engine? Etc.
Also, I need to buy a "Sniffle Valve" for my Lyc IO360. Does anyone have a
suggestion as to where to get this? I do have the Lyc part number, and must
admit that I haven't looked for it yet. I can probably get it through a local
repair shop, but will have to pay through the nose I assume.
Gad, don't we live in a world full of strange jargon? Vernatherm rather than
thermostat. Sniffle Valve rather than drain valve.
