Al,

My oil return from the drive goes to the cover plate, where the injection pump used to be.  I had read in Tracy’s book that was a good place to return to, so length must not be too big of issue.  There really isn’t a whole lot of flow, and with 3/8 tubing, I wouldn’t expect it to be an issue.

I finished the installation of the new cooling system today In my Cozy MKIV.

Attached are a couple of photos with the cowling removed

 

Steve;

 

I notice the ve-r-r-r-y long redrive drain line.  Have you noticed any indication of problems draining.  Where does it return to the engine, the port in the front end housing?

 

I’ve been concerned with my drive that returns to the turbo oil return port in the rear hosing.  I’m thinking that if yours works OK, I’m in the clear.
