    Hi Guys, I managed a milestone today in starting the engine for the first time. I made up a pressure oiler and pressurised the system through the oil pressure gauge output fitting. I also primed the oil pump through the filter housing. A couple of turns and she was away. Pressure was up in seconds and managed to get to 40 psi at around 1300rpm. Not quite as smooth as the Corvair but all is good to go.

First off, everything inside the engine should have been lubricated with 100W mineral oil before/during assembly. Second, there are the (PN 532432) plugs at the front of the engine, the ports where the oil cooler pad (PN 35033) mounts, the original oil screen housing (PN 35020), the oil pressure relief valve (PN 21113) as well as the oil pressure outlet. Each of these can be used to prime and/or check the effectiveness of your prime. If you are ambitious, you can remove the valve covers as well. I added a quart of Royco flight ready preservative oil before the first start. The oil flow charts (Figure 38 of the TCM overhaul manual) for the O-200A showing pressure oil, scavenge oil-suction and scavenge oil-drain are helpful in understanding where the oil is going that you are pumping in with a rubber tipped oil can. Looking at the charts, it is clear that removing the oil cooler pad (or STC'd oil filter) allows you to prime the oil pump with the top hole and pressurize the oil passages, key to the first start up, with the lower hole.

    Subject: Corvair flywheels
    After driving my local NAPA guy nuts trying to find the flywheel WW recommends (Pioneer Products, FRA 235), I found a source here in Kansas City, at a transmission shop. Price was $35.00. I didn't ask him to go back and look, but he thinks he has about 6 of them on hand. I grabbed one, and had it drilled to fit, at a cost of $20. Now, on to finding a Soob starter! Paul R.
