From the MX Library - Service Alerts. As stated above it requires using two cooper gaskets and NO fiber gasket.

I ran across an article on the El Reno, F&M, Tempest Oil Filter Adaptor from the NTSB about loss of oil resulting in engine failure on adaptors with the fiber gaskets. I then found this document from Stratus Tools Technologies (manufacture or the adaptors) that tells you to replace the fiber gas...

I have been looking for those as well, or something that will replace them for a while with no luck.

From the Airmans Information Manual: Contact Procedures Initial Contact.

Good post George, has anyone ever got approval or STC to reroute the fuel lines to eliminate the pump and check valve?

I roll my eyes a bit when I hear or read anecdotes from someone who has installed the latest gizmo on their airplane and claim “more horsepower”, etc. To be fair to Surefly, they make no claims of increased horsepower, their main marketing point is the low maintenance and longer service life than a...

The guy across the taxiway installed a Surefly SIM on his Grumman recently, with the variable timing option. Early reports talk about easier starts and more power. I'm pretty confident the "more power" claim is anecdotal, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was in fact true. The kicker was ...

I also have mine mounted on the hat shelf. I find this keeps the headsets and cords out of the way when rear passengers or getting in or out of the plane. Unlike Miles I mounted mine under the shelf.

Gary, what brand of stripper did you use, the real nasty stuff ?

I've been using a Stratux ADS-B in (not Stratus) which is a home brew system and its been working like a charm for several years now. It is a little clunkier then other units but you get Status 2S features for the price of a Scout.

If you are in Canada I don't think they will support Universal Access Transceivers (UAT) which is what the SkyBeacons use. Last I heard Canada was only going to support 1090 Mhz units.

Overhaul is a good time to change to a lightweight starter, as the pinion shaft for the pull starter needs to be cut off its base, and that is best done off the engine. When I did mine in 2006 I went with the more expensive B&C because at the time the SkyTec was having some reliability problems...

In fact, the second SNL you posted implies that “all service information” previously published was “approved” which might include the Owner’s Manual service information. Certainly the information is the SAME info... therefore it could be said to be “approved”. Hmm...gotta go with Gary on this one, ...
