Hello all,
Overhaul on an O320 E2A. Installing a new cam with an integral gear. The accy. case cover oil vent baffle will not interface with the cam gear if you switch from the early cam with the separate gear. I hear that the cover must be updated, but I'll bet someone has another answer. Some say to trim down the baffle. Some suggest complete removal of the baffle, although I suspect another form of outboard oil separation may be in order if that road is taken. I will also use no tach drive on this engine as it will sport a pair of Pmags. No reference in the archives, but would really love to hear some input from folks who have cleared this hurdle, sand how it worked as far as blocking oil splash through the vent.
Thanks to all,
Chris
