Reviving this topic. Several members have said that failure of a start seal can result in high uncommanded prop RPM. To clarify, this dating seal in the front seal for the crank shaft? Therefore, the oil would leak out the front seal resulting in reduced prop control pressure? Thanks!

I have the Air Wolf remote oil filter. It's easy to access with the cowling off, still drops some oil even if you punch a hole in the filter to drain. Also, it's fastened to the firewall, and this stainless sheet is pretty thing, so the mint does move around a bit when tightening and loosening the filter, kind of sketchy but sofar so good. The extra hoses require for the remote location also take up some space behind the engine, so you dont gain that much additional space back there.

I also recently changed my throttle cable with new McFarlane. The old cable was pinched at the firewall pass through. Symptom was that the engine would not stay at low rpm, it would slowly increase. When going over bumps I could feel the knob on the throttle being tugged forward. I suggest you check this as well.
