| Subject: | 90 deg Oil Filter Adapter |
The engine for my RV-6 currently has a remote filter adapter but I want to
switch to a 90 degree adapter. The engine has not been mounted as yet. I've
seen several makes of adapters (Casper Labs, B&C, ECI) which all appear es
sentially the same. Is there a reason to choose one over the others, other
than price? The real question is - Is there a need for a spacer and if so,
what thickness? The engine is a parallel valve IO-360 in an RV-6 dynafocal
mount. Van's says most RV's need the 1 =BD inch spacer. Is that true here?
Thanks.
Regards,
Greg Young

Howdy Greg,
We've been flying a B&C adapter on our 6A with no spacer. The filter
just clears the motor mount tube. Got one on my new 6, also. There are
inches available between there and the firewall so a spacer won't hurt,
but I don't think it's necessary.
