From: Bulent Aliev To: Rotary motors in aircraft Message-ID: In-Reply-To: Mime-version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit Hi Ed, I'm suspecting that when I blocked off the oil filter mounting pad on the engine I did not connect both openings with a groove in the block off block. I see that all block off pads have a groove connecting both ports. I forgot about it. I'm getting oil through the remote oil filter and oil cooler to the oil mount pad on the engine. I'll do the correction today and let you know. buly On 12/22/04 7:42 AM, "Ed Anderson" wrote: > Buly, when I first tried bring the oil pressure up in my engine by cranking > (without plugs) - no oil pressure.
