The sump is not the worst place to shed heat. Do the math and look at how many
square inchs of surface there is. Why do you think there are fins on the sump?
Not only that, the heat is wicked around the entire crank case. This is why the
top of the case gets hot. The oil cools the crank, rods,

The O-200 oil pump usually won't prime turning on the starter and takes nearly
forever to prime at an idle. You can idle the engine right up to damaging the
bearings and still may not get oil pressure. If you want to pre-oil the
engine, the technique Mike describes works pretty well, and is a
I primed my O200 buy removing the oil temp bulb, pick up a barbed fitting
attach a plastic line to pressure container and apply ?about 5psi.?inject any
were from 1/4to1/2 quart of oil is plenty to prime oil pump. DON'T FORGET TO
REINSTALL TEMP PROBE!!

I never could get my O-200 to self prime, I had left the spark plugs out to

she just would not pick up the oil. I finally pulled the side plate where the

Well it is time to clean out the hanger and let go of some projects so I am
offering up my KR2 complete airframe. It must go asking $1000 or bring me
an offer. No FWF but does have a VW engine mount.

I'm sorry, but this is wrong. The sump is the worst place for cooling to
happen. Heat is radiated away only at that relatively small amount of surface
area, per volume of oil.
I'm not familiar with VW aircraft installations. Are you using an oil cooler of
any type? A car installation includes t
Speaking of priming, my experience with getting a Type 1 VW engine to
prime on a taildragger has been has been pretty miserable! First step
is to coat the oil pump gears at assembly to make a tight enough seal to
hopefully suck oil out of the sump, and that sump tube is pretty long

Hi Gary,
Assuming new rings and at least newly honed cylinders (if not new cylinders),
then:
Engine should have straight mineral oil for the first 10hrs.
Ignition OFF
Pull one plug from each cylinder.
Spin by hand, (will pump oil thought engine)
Replace plugs and run?
Worst part is its pretty

On the a65 we removed the oil cooler port plug, used vynal tubing and a funnel

I hope that helps?

I have run 15w40 Rotella since day one in my 18 wheeler. 1.25 million miles
so far. Only internal maintenance was a head gasket. I'm vary happy with
using Rotella.
