Posted for Art Jensen <flycassutts@yahoo.com>:
I purchased and installed an oil/air separator from
Lancair. It was made by Andair but was missing the
internal parts. As you might guess it did not work
very well without the internal parts. However, thanks
to Robert at Lancair and his correspondence with
Andair I did receive the parts.
When the separator was hooked up without the internal
parts the return line went back into the case just
above the oil filter on the back of the engine.
Hooked up at this location I had oil venting all over
the belly of the plane. I do not know if it is the
location that causes a problem or just the fact that
the internal parts were missing from the separator.
Consider that hooked up as it would be without an
oil/air separator there is no oil venting overboard.
My plane is currently down for an annual so I have not
flown it with the system hooked up with all parts in
place.
