Tmarsha Posted December 17, 2014 Report Posted December 17, 2014 Hello, in the process of installing an Airwolf remote oil filter kit, I was taking loose the Vernatherm housing and the valve dropped out of the housing along with 6 washers. Not sure why it dropped out and why the washers? My mechanic had another one that we put in however the seat looked like it had some wear. I have the 2nd oil cooler STC not sure if that has any relation to this. I couldn't tell what holds the valve in the housing. I was looking at new ones and they want $200-$300 ouch. Getting ready to go fire it up to check for leaks. Any feedback is appreciated. Tom Quote
N601RX Posted December 17, 2014 Report Posted December 17, 2014 There is a lycoming service bulletin that deals with the nut working loose and falling apart. I purchased a new one when I overhauled the engine 3 years ago. I remember it being around $150 for the pma equivalent. I either purchased it from aircraft specialties or aero-in-stock. My old one was working when I overhauled the engine if your interested in it I can see if I still have it. SB 518C.pdf SI 1423.pdf Quote
