Hi all,
I've got a vertical oil filter adapter on my O-320. The theory is that it makes for drip-free filter changes by poking a hole in it and letting it drain into the sump. It's also nice to have lots of room between the engine and firewall.
Only problem is that it places the oil filter almost directly behind the breather outlet, so the standard routing for the breather tube that goes aft and straight down the firewall won't work. Looks like it will have to go left and down a bit, then down and inboard perhaps clamped to the engine mount.
Has anyone already figured out a simple solution and appropriate parts for this, or am I breaking new ground here?
