Neil: The engine gets a "side sump' the, oil flow in gravity to the
sump, is still the same in a normal position or 90 degree
anticlockwise (pilot view)

The oil pick-up in the sump must just be the same length otherwise it
will have problems in suction.

I have designed some drawings and ideas can post in on the group for discus=
sion.

The same principle=E2=80=99s that Ed used in his engine setup.
Wondering how many hours Ed`s  13B logged ?  Maybe David Gray can help
me, saw that he bought the RV 6
