Folks,
I have an IO-360 with superior cold sump on the RV-8 project. The issue is that the exhaust pipes (Vetterman) are too close to the oil drain sump on the engine. Please see the image below.
The configuration I have is pretty standard, and I am hoping some of you who have gone before can give me some suggestions.
1) Are there others who have faced similar issue? Would you mind sharing your solution?
2) Is it even possible to put a quick-drain oil valve with the cold sump on?
The alternative is to let it be, but the presence of the exhaust pipe will make things harder.
Thanks in advance.
