--> LycomingEngines-List message posted by: "Ralph E. Capen" <recapen@earthlink.net>
Fellow listers,
I'm starting my firewall foreward after getting a new CW crankshaft (per SB566).
I've got the engine on the mount and the mount on the fuse.
I was looking at the oil filler / dipstick tube...there's an O-ring at the top
to seal the dipstick cap with the top of the tube. There's also room for another
O-ring at the bottom of the tube to seal it with the crankcase. The O-ring
at the top is there - but not the one for the bottom. I've heard some say that
a gasket goes at the bottom.
Anyone know what it should be and what the correct part number is?????
Thanks,
Ralph Capen

It's in the Lycoming parts catalog. Lycoming p/n 72059.
Spruce sells it for $1.05. Some people I've talked to about this just use
high-temp RTV to seal it instead of using the "washer" style gasket. I used
the 72059 gasket and still get a little bit of weepage.
