I believe if you go look at the front "side" housing where the eshaft
emerges you will see some channeling that runs from the eshaft in a
downward and oblique angle. With the engine mounted normally, or
mounted plugs up, this passage still heads in a downward manner to the
sump. When mounted plugs down, this will have the effect of trapping or
pooling oil that is draining from the rotors. This is just from
looking at it, not conducting any studies.
Also, I know I havent posted much in the past few weeks, been doing
other things... but those of you planning on doing your own rebuild I
have one lil tidbit of advice: Buy a BIG impact wrench. Even if its
from a pawn shop.. The "nut from hell" just isnt going to break loose
with a cheap home depot or walmart (campbell-hausfield is the brand)
impact wrench. Just not enough "OOOMPH". By and large, cheaper tools
are perfectly acceptable elsewhere but with regards to removing nuts
that are torqued heavily WITH locktite... the cheaper stuff just dont
cut it.
I was in the process of tearing down engines 2 and 3, to blast the
housings, then transport them up to the airport (essentially so I could
move all my tools up there too and not have to transport em back and
forth....).. and I finally gave up and bought a 3/4" drive impact from
a pawn shop.. three times has heavy as the CH one. Put it on, set it on
the lowest setting, and a single one second pull spun off the nut.
HALLELUJAH!
