However, from the pictures it was hard to determine the schematic of the whole interconnected oil system (i.e. which hose is "flow in", "flow out", and which hose is connected to the "in" and "out" of the oil cooler. Could you post a one line schematic of the oil system showing the thermostat and which hose connects to what?

I apologize for this oversight. After receiving Hugh's gentle reminder, I went to the hangar to take photos of the oil thermostat. Unfortunately, I only got two photos of questionable quality, before my batteries died. I did not even have enough battery juice to see if they came out okay until I got back home. I hope the attached photos will help those of you who have not figured a good location for the oil thermostat. If you download the photos you should be able to zoom in to see pretty good detail because they are 2 megapixel photos if Matt's software does not reduce them. If more or better photos are needed I'll take some more. Notice that you don't see the gearbox. We have it off doing the required periodic inspection. This may not be the only location possible but it works well. Be sure to make certain that you don't have any kinks in the hoses. The hose arrangement appears a bit convoluted but the flow directions required it. It was a bit of a hassle to get it located just right so there were no hose kinks and it cleared all potential interference points but was worth the effort. -------- Thom in Buffalo N221FA Allegro 2000 912UL N197BG FS1/447 -------------------- Finance is the art of passing money from hand to hand until it finally disappears. - Robert W.

There is no way to get photos showing schematically how it is hooked up. The oil thermostat has the ports marked and if my memory is correct, the installation instructions included with the part were pretty clear. Also, I think there is some Rotax documentation that shows where schematically where to install the oil thermostat. If you don't find what you are looking for in this regard, let me know and I'll dig it out from my archives. I know that the C1 and C2 ports are connected to the two oil cooler ports. What I don't remember and can't tell from the photo is where the E ports connect into the system. I'm sure I knew the correct location schematically when we installed it two winters ago but would have to look again at our installation to be sure of how we did. I won't be going back to the hangar until next week. When I do I'll make notes of the connection schematic and post it afterwards. -------- Thom in Buffalo N221FA Allegro 2000 912UL N197BG FS1/447 -------------------- Finance is the art of passing money from hand to hand until it finally disappears. - Robert W.
