You have to understand this is a new aircraft/engine combination for me and every aircraft has it's idiosyncrasies’ and I'm going to ask a lot of questions. I just moved up from a C-140.

Well, this made me actually go look to refresh my memory. You are correct, it actually IS clocked ...a little... about 5:30 or so. (That's why I had to relocate my fuel line a bit.) The adaptor itself is about 1/2" from the engine mount and clears it just fine with no indications of contact ever.)

The questions are what we all have and enjoy here. It's what Forums are For! :P

George, this is what my installation looks like.

I haven't moved the oil temp probe to the back of the oil filter adapter yet.
