Allen,
Sorry about the dig (at) Sooners, that was one amazing football game!
When I talked to Gary Foster today, he said that you ground down the
ridges/fins on the sump to provide extra room for the potential
interference with the engine mount on the RV-10. I noticed mine didn't
seem to be ground down. I ordered my engine mount from Van's well AFTER
the problem was reported, BUT, when we had the engine up close and
personal the other day (with the wrong mounts) it looked like it was
going to be VERY tight. Once I finally get mounts that I can use I'll
try again (tomorrow?) I'll let you know the outcome. I also spoke w/
Will James and Gary about induction/filtered air, Gary hasn't done
anything so far and Will say's he woke up one morning (at) 3am with a flash
of inspiration and had a design worked out. I'm trying to encourage him
to go ahead and follow up, any encouragement you can provide would be
welcome. Gary has been very helpful, but he's getting to the point where
he wants to finish and fly and not be in a builder support role.

Since this was brought up, when we built Jim Younkins IO-540 for his
-10, his assistant found the same problem. So, we ground down the fins
on the sump. This was about the same time we built Gary's engine. In the
meantime, someone on the list found the interference with the standard
C4B5-D4A5 sump as well and it was determined to be an issue with the
mount itself. If I'm not mistaken, the issue of the mount has been
resolved. But if there is a fit issue with the sump on any of the
engines we have put CAS on, let me know so we can address. Does anyone
have an inside to Van's to verify if a correction has been made to the
mount?
Hey Deems, I loved the ball game!!!! GO POKES!!!!!
