Mikeyb reply on IO-360 M1B Intake Tube Seals - Backfiring
I took an input tube off to install an inverted oil line. The O-ring on the tube sits close to the inside edge of the hole in the case. The inside edge of the hole is not chamfered like the outside edge and has a small radius edge. It’s very easy to get the tube It in too far as you are connecting the tube to the head. The tube and oil lubricated O-ring slide into the chamfered end easily. Go a 1/4” too far and no amount of lubrication will protect the O-ring as it slides across the edge being pulled back. Fortunately I bought an extra $14 O-ring. If I did it again I would hose clamp a stop to the tube before I removed it to keep it from falling in.

Breather line and oil blow by.
Gentlemen, Here are a few pics I snapped today of my crankcase breather line. I’ve gone from 7 to 4 qts in 13 hrs, with most being blown overboard. I realize I overfilled at the oil change but I’m concerned at my oil use. I went over the engine pretty well this morning and found no real...

Low Voltage Warning Etched Circuit Board Modification.
I have one of the early AeroElectric Connection Low Voltage Modules installed in my plane. I want to try and modify it. I installed EarthX batteries and as you know the resting voltage is around 13.5V. The LVM was designed for lead acid batteries and doesn’t engage until it detects 13V...

Section 27 (Firewall) Issues
F-1001G-L and F-1001G-R are mirror images of each other, including the hole pattern for a nutplate (see my photo below). But on page 27-5 (also in photo below), it only shows a nutplate on the right side. Unfortunately, I think that I match-drilled the #12 hole through F-1001A (the firewall) and...

IO-360 M1B Intake Tube Seals - Backfiring
Two things. First question. Does anyone have advice or a written procedure for replacing the intake tube seals on the sump end of the tube? Photos below. I have gotten some great advice from a respected member of VAF about trouble shooting my problem but just casting a wider net. Second...

Seat Ventilation Harness
Hi All, first time posting for help, hope I’m in the right place! I purchased a RV-9A earlier this year (first plane had to be an RV!). It came with 6 ventilation fans built into each seat, though they are not hooked up. I was provided two harnesses by the owner. There three wires which need...

Roll servo installation question ?
Hello all. I’ve seen the roll servo installation where you fabricate a bracket and install to the front stick. Did anyone install the servo by attaching directly to the aileron pushrod. What if I mount the servo on its side and run the pushrod directly to the pushrod. I’ll have to install a...
