I'm piecing together a smoke system for the Rocket, and while its not a priority compared to just getting it back in the air I figured I'd throw out a question thats been on my mind lately.
Assuming the typical pair of injectors as close to the exhaust port as I can get (cyl #1 and 2 on a 540), is there any benefit to pre heating the oil before injection? IIRC, back in my RC days, smoke system performance could be improved with the little 2 strokes by wrapping the smoke line around the muffler a few turns. Seems like the same thing would be easy to accomplish with some stainless hardline coiled around the primary tube on a Lyc.
I'm sure I'm not the first person to think of this... If so, does it help, hurt, or make no difference?
Help me quiet the demons in my head so I can focus on more pressing details.
