From: bjones@dmv.com


If you attend one of the 912 Rotax courses, there is mention that the 912
oil header tank's inlet tube , which goes thru the tank top, is designed
to swirl the hot engine oil downward around the side wall of the header
tank to help with cooling the oil.  There are several other design
features in the OEM header tanks that may not be present in an after
market tanks intended for a different engine and installation application.
How important? I do not know.

I certainly do not hold myself out as having significant expertise in this
arena.
