• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. 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. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

Hey All,

I was cleaning up some things under the cowl of our S2A this weekend and noticed that the exhaust on the left side bank runs close to the oil sump. Close enough that it has burned off the paint. Two problems I see.

1st is that the oil is super heated form the header pipe
2nd is it could cook the sump gasket.

Solution: Header wrap? Jet Hot?
How about a after market 4 into 1?
Any thoughts?

Charlie
