Folks,
I have an O-320 D2J in my four. I just reinstalled the motor after a bunch of upgrades, and discovered the oil fill tube hits and rubs against the engine mount. Upon closer inspection, it was doing it before removal as well. One of the squawks on my list was a loose oil fill tube. Well, now I know why it was loose. Didn't catch it on the pre buy. :-/
Has anyone else had this? If so what did you do? A tube of a smaller diameter would solve this, but does one exist somewhere? If I shortened it, it would be difficult to check the oil, but it would work. I'll do whatever I have to do I guess.
This ringing a bell for anyone? Any ideas?
Thanks,
