Yes. It is an air chamber type, not the spring loaded piston
type. Weighs less than a pound. I'm using it to eliminate or
reduce the pulsations from the oil pump which may have contributed to Rusty's
oil cooler failures. My oil cooler is a much modified evaporator core and
the filter is a Peterson part.

Is that a Moroso oil accumulator Tracey?

cowl. Not shown in the picture is the intake manifold which is similar
to the one in my RV-4. It would stick out the side of the purpose
built cowl. This is just one of many factors. Also, I
think Will James who makes the purpose built cowl was still working out the
rights to market it (it was originally for Powersport) when I got mine.

[FlyRotary] Re: Cooling air inlets
Tracy,
just wondering why you went for the "classic" cowl instead of the Sam
James purpose built rotary cowl?
Greg
Hi John,
There
are no ballpark figures, only arguments about them : )
FWIW,
I am using a Sam James cowl with 5" round inlets and fervently hope
that they will cool my 20B.

[FlyRotary] Cooling air inlets
I
am modifying the cowling for the Tailwind. The air inlet holes
are 2 5/8"s x 7.5"s for a total of app. 21.5 sq. inches. x
2 for a total of 43. I am looking at a 5 inch round hole which
is the size that Same James is using for the O-320's, which
would make the diffusers easier to fabricate. The round 5 " hole
has approximately 19.3 sq inches x 2 for 38.6 sq. inches total,
if my math is right. Is this a ball park figure for the water
coolers (GM evaporators) on the Mazda 13 B engine. JohnD<20B
