Capen" Subject: LycomingEngines-List: Oil filler / dipstick tube gasket or O-ring --> LycomingEngines-List message posted by: "Ralph E. Capen" 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 RV6A N822AR @ N06 firewall foreward..... ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 11:37:52 AM PST US From: "Dan Checkoway" Subject: Re: LycomingEngines-List: Oil filler / dipstick tube gasket or O-ring --> LycomingEngines-List message posted by: "Dan Checkoway" 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. )_( Dan RV-7 N714D (842 hours) http://www.rvproject.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ralph E.
