In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web.

Hello everybody!
My S2a with IO360 had no oil drain tubes when I bought her. Engine was not complete:(. I ordered a new set from Loma-air in Belgium. They fit more or less okay, but not the one for cylinder #2.
I hope you can see it on the photos: it hits the oilcooler in the front but is still too long to fit in the hose ... about 15mm.
Sadly I haven't found any photo how the original drain tube looks like. Do I have the wrong part-nr.?
Or is it common to bend the tube?
Thank you very much in advance for any advice!
Blue skies,
Jochen
