Re: OIL PUMP Question
      
      Re: Lom-List: OIL PUMP QuestionThank you very much for putting in so 
      much effort. That really helped me a lot. My pump is slightly different 
      as it has only one inlet but the one way valve does screw straight in. 
      
      Now my next problem, any ideas on where I can find an adapter to fit on 
      the end of the one way valve that will enable an AN fitting to be used?
      
      Am I correct in thinking that there is no thermostatically controlled  
      by-pass valve fitted. If anybody has fitted an oil cooler how do you 
      control oil flow to the cooler?
      
      How do you clean the oil screen chamber?
      
      Thanks
      
      Mike

        There is a threaded cap that closes off that port when not in use, but 
      you don't really need it. You can just leave it open, or you can use it 
      to drive a tach. UMA instruments make (but do not advertise) a tach 
      generator for the LOM drive. It is designed to operate their 3 1/8" tach 
      with hour meter. 
      
        I can show you a picture of a spare pump that I have which shows the 
      oil ports:
      
      
        Notice that you can use either of two inlets. The non-return valve I 
      identified in your earlier posting screws into this. The oil inlet hose 
      then attached to that valve.
      
        A standard American oil temp probe will screw into the fitting on the 
      botton of the oil screen chamber.

          Thanks for the help, I had another look at the engine to-day, cannot 
      see where the oil inlet could be. Any chance that someone could describe 
      where the oil inlet is located?
      
          If I am not using the tach drive how do I cover it up?
      
          Thanks

            B is not an oil fitting. It's the tach drive.
