Got the oil drained and the screen out, but before I fill it back up I want to check the course screen - the one that catches the BIG chunks (my old boss called it a 'cockroach catcher' because that's about all you could get with it...) - but I can't remember where it hides on the accessory case. Confession; I'm obviously just being lazy because I'm sure someone at the airport has a Continental book, but sometimes it's just easier to throw out a question on the forum.
Oh, and I guess I need the gasket number, too.
(uhh, an O300A DOES have one, doesn't it?)
thanks...

If you are working on the large pressure screen, (the one normally cleaned/checked during an oil change), then simply look a couple inches to the left/port side of the airplane, and and inch or two down...and there is the suction screen. The copper crush-gasket is PN: AN900-16
