I'm referring to those 2 which have the red female caps in the annexed photo. May I have your help to identify them? Thanks Carlos ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 05:59:21 AM PST US From: Jesse Saint Subject: Re: RV10-List: Engine plugs to identify The big one is the mechanical tach drive. They sell caos for that if it leak s oil. Many planes I see don't have the cap and don't leak. The small one I would need to see with the cap off. It is possibly an oil pr essure line port.

I would be in the same situation. They certainly does not seem to have a good payback, if you already have a mag. I also think about being stranded on a XC flight and looking for repair or replacement. But itching to spend more $$ on the plane. do not archive.

They are used for thinks like hoses to the oil cooler., Have you looked at the plans, FF1 if I remember correctly points out all the fittings you install. Then check the FF section for oil system to be sure you have all those fittings identified. -sent from the I-droid implanted in my forearm On Sat, Feb 4, 2017 at 12:27 PM, Carlos Trigo wrote : > Thanks Jesse > > The small (lower) one is a male AN6 flared tube fitting, which I intend t o > plug with a AN929 plug. > > CT > > Enviado do meu iPhone > > No dia 04/02/2017, =C3-s 13:58, Jesse Saint > escreveu: > > The big one is the mechanical tach drive.

It's too small for that in this case, I think. If you have both of y our AN8 lines already in for the oil cooler, then this should get capped.
