continental service bulletin

Anyone know where I can find a copy of Continental service bulletin m80-18 about placement of the engine breather on io360's online

Thanks

I don't, but am interested. I just moved the oil/air separator on mine. Is this a new service bulletin?

Came out in 1980. I have what seems like to much oil out the breather and thought it couldn't hurt to see if the position was correct.

The hot tip for the breather on the smaller Continentals (up to O-300) is to turn the breather elbow coming out of the crancase up above horizontal a bit, then straighten the breather line back out with the hose. Oil mist collects there & drains back into the engine. They also make a elbow with a straight extension on the end that screws into the engine, helps to prevent that oil mist from blowing into the breather to begin with.

Almost certain that this was used on the 150 aerobat. Not a cheap piece either, but many have been made by silver soldering an extension on to a common elbow.
