That's the K&N 1008 filter specified for the third gen. This time they
didn't have the 1008 in stock so I installed a K&N 1004 which is the one
specified for the 2nd gen. It's a little bigger. But, Ed, I changed the oil
and filter because I'd seen low oil pressure on the previous flight. As this
time, the pressure started reasonable (89) and gradually reduced with time.
After 15 minutes it was down to 35 or so. Another 10 minutes and it was 20.
But by this time I was on descent and the rpm was lower.

The front cover O ring? That's the one behind the water pump, right? Would
there be any other symptoms? I don't seem to be loosing any oil or coolant.
