Prepping the oil sump for Reiff install
Hi all,
I want to install the Reiff oil heaters on my O-360 A1A. I installed the cylinder bands last year. The Reiff instructions say to remove any "anodizing" and paint from the sump's surface then clean with Acetone. I confess my ignorance: are oil sumps aluminum and are they anodized? If so what should be used to remove that? And if you remove paint/anodizing from the sump on an area larger than the glue surface of the heating pad, is that exposed surface now susceptible to corrosion? If so, what's the best way to seal it? Some of the Epoxy? Thanks |
I bought myself a Christmas present; an insulated engine cover from Aircraftcovers.com.
The red bag is the storage bag. I'm really impressed by the quality and fit (even a protrusion for the exhaust). The Reiff preheater is switched by a WiFi switch (DRH-704 ~ €35,-). Will take some temperature measurements next week. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
The reflective N-number is just the icing on a very nice cake.

Nice floor! Can you tell us about your WiFi switch?

I?ll butt in here?. I have a cell phone relay switch because I can?t get a WiFi signal at the hanger. If you?re one of the lucky ones who has a strong WiFi signal then I suspect this https://www.ebay.com/itm/Sonoff-Swit...8AAOSwj~VcmErZ would work just fine. Rated at 2200 watts so it will operate an engine preheater.
