Subject: RV10-List: Oil Breather/Separator
From: "Greg McFarlane" <grbcmcfarlane@gmail.com>


Just Got the AntiSplat Breather/Separator.............. For both four and six cyl
engines units the inlet/outlets are 3/4 My engine IO-540 standard from Vans
and the Vans supplied ally extension for breather is 1. Has anyone fitted the
ASA and down sized everything to fit the 3/4 inlet/outlet ? ....... Also which
plug have been used to return the oil back to the engine ? ASA show the four
cyl engine and the plug just in front of the prop Governor, thats not applicable
to the RV10 IO-540, but there is a plug just below the R Mag pad Thats the
plug in the photo with screwdriver pointer. ............ Know theres different
views on returning the oil/potential water mix back to the engine, but Im over
that and Ive decided to do it. .Appreciate any feedback.(not on putting the
oil back)

Yep - did that on my RV-10.  I just used some short lengths of appropriate diameter
tubing, then inserted the 3/4 tubing into it. 

On the oil return, strongly recommend not doing that.  Just fashion a collection
can to take the blow by oil.  You dont want to put that back in your engine.
I used a standard old school Brasso type can, painted to match the engine baffles
and fashioned a mount from aluminum scraps and a could of Adel clamps.

Between oil changes I might get ~1/2 in the can.
