Can it be mounted lower then the engine outlet or should it be higher? Using XP 360 on RV-8.

On my RV-8A I used one of the $36 A/C Spruce jobs, and ended up mounting it pretty much straight back from the engine, toward the top of the firewall. This was driven by convenience and out of the way placement, primarily. However, if you are redirecting the oil back to the engine (which I would assume you are doing), you will want to make sure that gravity will take the oil from the separator, down the tube, and into the engine. Point being, don't mount the separator LOWER than where the oil will go back into the engine. After a whopping 6.4 hours, my set up appears to be working just fine.

It looks a little close to the edge. Do you think I need to reorder the part?
