Tom,

On the B-17 we use a feathering pump (not sure of the origin) for pre-oiling prior to each start.

Tom,

I installed a certified pre-oiler from this manufacturer. http://www.oilamatic.com/
After chatting to Mahlon at T/M he indicated it was an option worth installing for me along with a Tanis enginea de-hydrator as I am away two weeks at a time. Hope to look after my Red/Gold FADEC engine long term with both these items.

Cheers, Greg RV-7A

I'd be very mad if I hade to have my engine inspected every 50 hours...please profide a link to this.:confused:

I'm waiting for my new ECI IOX-360 to arrive, and the last thing I want to do is deal with problems. Please provide a link

ECi Cylinders
 
Just talk to ECi directly. They will be your best source of correct information on the issue. The facts are also on their website.
