    In the attached picture, just below the breather tube hose is a red capped port on my YIO 540. Anyone know what I should be doing with it? Jeff Carpenter 40304

    I"m a little disoriented. Is that the tach drive port? If so, you'll use it if you have a mechanical tach; if electronic tach, you'll need to cap it off. AC Spruce sells a suitable cap. -------- Bob Turner RV-10 QB Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=422758#422758

    That's for the oil temp probe. Bob On Saturday, May 3, 2014, Jeff Carpenter <jeff@westcottpress.com> wrote: > In the attached picture, just below the breather tube hose is a red capped > port on my YIO 540. Anyone know what I should be doing with it? > > > Jeff Carpenter > 40304 > >

    From: Patrick Pulis <rv10free2fly@yahoo.com.au>
    Could other builders please indicate if you've gone to the effort of installing an air/oil separator on your IO-540 engines? If so what is the recommended type and location of same in the engine compartment please? Any pictures of installations would be greatly appreciated too please. Warm regards and wishing you all safe skies. Patrick Pulis Adelaide, South Australia

    Subject: TruTrak AP Pitch Servo issue
    From: "hotwheels" <jaybrinkmeyer@yahoo.com>
    I love my DigiFlight II VSGV, but recently experienced an in-flight loss of altitude command in my Pitch Servo. The only symptom of something wrong was lack of altitude hold (roll works fine). After landing I powered the AP on back at the hangar and varied the altitude control to different +/- vertical speeds. The stick moved ever so slightly fwd and aft. No real force was required to override it manually even though the AP torque setting was at max). After removing the baggage compartment bulkhead, I fully expected to see what a sheared off servo bolt looks like... However, it's still intact and looks fine. Closer inspection showed nothing unusual with the servo arm, fittings, cable, phenolitic wheel (sp?) pitch tube or wires. The servo acted like it was trying to move the pitch tube (things were clicking), nothing was happening. I watched the servo running and noticed a loose factory set screw where the blue motor housing attaches to gold base. Yikes! I'll be calling TT Monday first thing Monday and will report on how this turns out. Guess I'll be adding add a visual/physical inspection of the blue servo motor housing to my annual checklist.

    This is what I'm using. It works. I collect the oil - not return it to th e engine. I empty out a couple of ounces each oil change.
