I have about 400 hours of flight data that I can analyze. Looking back through about the most recent 140 hours of data selected for 2,500 RPM at 2,000 feet I see 9 hours at 105 MPH average ground speed, 101 MPH average indicated airspeed. Steve --------------------------------------------- Hi Stephen, Whats the prop you are using? and what cruse speed do you get at 2450-2500? Please, let me know.

However, someone with the same setup might chime in and help you out. I just re-read your original post, and I'm not sure if you're indicating a problem or not. If all the expelled oil ends up in the bottle, that seems right to me, unless you think TOO much oil is being expelled by the engine. Just keep in mind that if the vent overboard is in a high airflow area, maybe a vacuum is being formed and helping to draw oil out of the engine.

Oil collection bottle is directly behind my seat on the floor of the fuselage.The last of the vent exits thru the floor on the bottom.It extends 1 inch below the bottom and is cut at 90 degrees to the pipe.I could place a short piece of 1/2" copper tube, cut at a 45 degree angle facing forward, in the tube which could slightly pressurize the system.I have had a modified PCV valve in the line 2 inches from the oil stick for some time now,hoping to put the crankcase in a partial vacuum,letting air out but not back in.This slowed the rate of oil loss but perhaps not for the reason it was installed.It may be just giving the oil a place to collect or to ubstruct its movement. ????? I can easily test the collector bottle for vacuum, for there is a 1/4 inch line installed from beside my seat thru the lid to near the bottom of the bottle to evacuate collected oil with a vacuum pump. If that test shows vacuum,I will try the angle vent to reverse it.The PCV valve will not let the crankcase be pressurized but could eliminate vacuum in the vent system ahead of it. ???? I'm pretty sure that not all of the missing oil from the engine ends up in the collector, but it does not leak externally at all.If it burns it,it burns it,and I can live with that.I would just like to keep the collector dry as possible. ????? Thanks for the input.I'll let you know what I find. ????????????????????

I believe my engine is doing fine on the oil burn...you have to remember that we are talking oz's of oil here..when you only have 2.4 qts it just seems like a lot when a little is missing.when talking on my O-320-E2D we talk in Quarts...not oz's.Lynn...you go to any fly-ins?
