Re: Oil quick drain issue (update)
We pulled the engine back off and verified all parts, installation, torque numbers........we reinstalled the engine with a “keep it as far forward as possible” goal. We gain enough space for the quick drain to work, but there is minimal clearance. It appears, as ghostfly said in an earlier post, “th...

Re: Oil quick drain issue
George, they replaced both halves, the sump is mine. The engine mount was not altered, just cleaned up while remaining on the airframe. The new engine fit back into the engine mount very easily. If not for the quick drain, we would not have seen this aft shift issue. I have looked through 18 years o...

Re: Oil quick drain issue
Bruce, getting measurement is our next steps. Could someone take a few measurements for us? 1. Firewall to the seam created by the engine case and accessory case on the underside of engine. 2. Seam created by the engine case and accessory case to center of back oil drain plug. 3. Firewall to front o...

Re: Oil quick drain issue
Update......no solution. We decided to remove the quick drain and go back to original plug and gasket. There is not enough clearance to tighten the plug. Waiting on the engine shop to respond. The engine mount never left the airframe. We did clean it up, primer and paint it. And yes, we replaced all...

Re: Oil quick drain issue
As stated, the motor mounts can not be switch. The engine shop said “there may be a slight geometrically difference than the original engine block. The sump is the same one.” My quick drain is aft 1/2” (+ or -) from where it was before the overhaul. We are going to install the original plug and move...

Re: Oil quick drain issue
First, the quick drain had clearance before the rebuild.
New shock mount bushings were installed at the engine shop.
I will check the flange location tomorrow. Just got back in town.
Thank you for your input.

Oil quick drain issue
I just had my O-300A rebuilt. After getting it hung, I notice the clearance on the oil quick drain valve is no longer there. So you can no longer push the quick drain up to lock it open. It appears that the engine is now a little more aft then before. The engine shop did replace the engine case duri...

Re: 1952 Cessna 170B Insignia Red with original interior ?
Joe, I'm looking to upgrade my crushed green velvet interior (not original........lol) that was installed in 1973 and was wondering if you still recommend Bobby Carswell work?
