I am using an oil temp. probe that is 1/8 tapered pipe thread that has to fit into
the oil sender hole on my Lycoming O360 either the accessory case hole or
the oil filter adaptor which are the same size 5/8-18 straight thread. I haven't
been able to locate an adaptor for this. Has anyone run into this before?

Dave, These are simple to make, but should be available at most
automotive performance shops. Believe Autometer also makes them.

Dave,
I don't know if this affects you, but it's been said that it's not wise
to mount a sender directly on the engine, the vibration can eventually
snap it off. Something to consider.

| Subject: | Rocker Identification |
--> Engines-List message posted by: "Jack Lockamy" <jacklockamy@att.net>
Removed cylinders from my 0-320 yesterday. As I was bagging the rockers on the
last cylinder pulled I noticed the rockers ARE NOT identical.... one rocker has
an 1/8" oil hole on the bottom of the rocker which faces the pushrod.
Question: Is the rocker with the 1/8" oil hole the EXHAUST rocker or the INTAKE
rocker? The rocker with the hole in the bottom is labeled A-12 but not other
identifying marks or numbers.
TIA,
Jack Lockamy

You really, really need to get the overhaul book from Lycoming... This won't
be the only thing to rear up and bite you - and some could be fatal - to
the engine at least... These are not tractor engines in spite of the old
joke...
The extra oil spray is for exhaust valve cooling...
