Hi Guys,
I'm buying an engine for my RV-8. There is an option for a 90 degree spin on oil filter adapter. I imagined that this would position the oil filter in a hanging down position, making filter changes easier.
I did a google image search and it looks like it points the filter up...
So now I'm thinking, maybe the oil will drain out of the filter while it is still attached to the engine.
I searched the forum and couldn't find the answer to my questions, so here goes:
1) Do I have it right, does the adapter point the filter up?
2) Is this a good option? Does it help with oil changes?
3) Does it get in the way or cause any interference under the RV-8 cowel?
Thank you in advance,
