Once again ladies and gentlemen, Legacy builders and flyers, or anyone
with an IO-550, of course, but the below instructions are for the -N
engine:

You have until the 5th of December to get in on our group price on the
oil cooler from Oilamatic (the one recommended by TCM for the IO-550).
Our group price is $875.00, not $1400.00 as mentioned the email from
Greg below, and no need for the $195 adapter, unless you have a filter
height problem, see item #5 below (less hoses, you must provide them).

You will find details below on what is to be thought of, keep in mind
that this system is FAA CERTIFIED for the IO-550.  Here's what you need to think about:

1)       There is a pickup port at the back of the IO-550N with a drain
plug (exactly the same size) just like the oil drain plug. This plug
unscrews aft with the horizontal axis of the engine. That is where we
will pickup the oil.  Your choice of three fittings will come with the
system, a straight fitting, a 90 degree angle fitting with a rotating
banjo to control which direction you have to go, or a 75 degree angle
with the same type rotating banjo fitting.  I will choose the 75 degree
fitting since that will give me that best choices of plumbing the
system.

2)       The system does come with a check valve so no worries about in
flight loss.

3)       As you look at the pump, you need to specify either a left or
right inlet for the oil, see www.oilamatic.com
<http://www.oilamatic.com/> 4)       No hoses come with the system, you need to provide same

5)       The system requires you to take off the oil filter and screw on
an adapter (included in the purchase), then screw the filter back on.
This will raise your filter one inch. If you think you may have a
vertical problem, you can use the short oil filter, or purchase (from
oilamatic) a certified adapter the same exact size as the one that came
with your engine with the built in ports for the pre-oiler.  I don't
think the vertical height should be a problem for any of us.

6)       The pump will come direct wired for the switch (20Amp, supplied
with the system) with a terminal block on the pump and a diode.  All you
have to provide is the 14ga wire from the pump to the switch.

7)       Each of us can order, AFTER I GET THE DEAL DONE AND TELL GEORGE
WHO ALL THE "GROUP PURCHASE" FOLKS ARE, figure $20.00 for shipping, and
we can pay separately with credit card, etc.

8)       The pump we will use is the 2100A or the 2110 (depending upon
right or left in item # 3 above, I will tell you which is which in the
final email), system weight is 6.3 pounds, and it flows 1.2 gallons of
oil per minute.

So, anyone else interested get back to me offline by December 4th. I'll
be away from my email from today until the 5th of December.

Happy Turkey day to ya'll,

Ron
