Oil air

Have you modified your aircraft? STC? STOL Kit? Major rebuild from just a data plate?

Oil air

Any of you with substantial climbout deck angles have oil venting issues?
Are you using an oil air separator if so what's working for you?

Re: Oil air

If you're experiencing more oil out of your breather system than seems "normal", regardless of deck angle I would suspect engine health. Every time I've seen a bunch of oil coming out of the breather it's either been a really hot day with the machine run hard or excess blow by from worn rings.

I'm not a big fan of oil separators that sit high on the engine and reintroduce "separated" oil back into the system. Most of the nasty byproducts of combustion are not separated out.

I thing rsrguy3 is referring to the C-150. That would make more sense. :lol:
