I pulled my engine in September to address an oil leak near the rear seal and on the front left cylinder base. Big Job should do a final stress test on the ground this weekend check the valve clearances and then return to the flight line. In the process I captured some images of the nifty 750+ hour flight proven adapted NX237F's builder Zig Berzins carved out of 6061 alloy. Neat in that is uses a stock VW cooler and integrates a oil filter mount without any hoses. On a 90 degree day my oil runs 190-205f.
I offered for Scott Casler to reverse engineer it and offer to his customers but I have not herd back. He has a 6-7 month backlog so there is no time for new development so I do not blame him.
One day I may remote my cooler and provide a hot oil box like POPs used on his SSSC on the intake. At that time it would be good for someone to make this available to the VW Aviation market. Enjoy the pictures. I have never taken it apart. Please share your system details.
