Cooling plenum and oil cooler...
Published (2009-11-30 16:22:00)
It was brought to my attention that I did not ask which oil cooler you used. That was a good point as that could significantly skew the results. To those of you who have a Sam/Will James plenum and cowl, would you please elaborate on your setup? Please include your cooler location, scat tubing size, and which oil cooler you are using. Thanks.

Hi Charlie, I'm trying to put an alternator on 2 different planes. 1.IO-320 e2a on the governor pad. 2.AEIO-540 D4A5 on the governor pad I don't know what plane drove the vacuum pump off of the governor pad! The part I'm looking for will drive a vacuum pump from the governor pad on the lower back of the engine.(But I will put an SD-8 alternator there instead) Thanks,Dave

...I suggested that it would be "nice" if they would post some relevant info to this web site. The person I was talking to agreed, indicating the task was on their to-do list, but it has not been done yet. And no, the deal with Lycoming did not go through. Lycoming did not get parts, IP, nada. I have to believe that it is in Superior's best interest (and mine of course since I have a Superior XP engine) to let all of us...

Seems high to me considering what it'll cost you to buy all the stuff that isn't included. Is a carb included? How about rods, cam followers, hydraulic adjusters, mag gears, pushrods and tubes, etc? Those things alone could easily set you back $1500. Add that to $6k for the other stuff you listed plus bearings, gaskets, and someone's time to assemble it, and you're looking at a $15k ...

You have the flexibility with 18mm option, but I would go for the 14mm. Running big-gapped cheap NGK plugs that are near-impossible to foul with powerful dual electronic ignitions makes for a easy-starting, economical-to-run engine. If that is what you want, then the adaptors are just a pain in the butt to deal with every time you pull a spark plug. This is where I live. Hans

I think that you should hook up the mechanical guage before you do anything. Good luck, Mahlon 'The opinions and information provided in this and all of my posts are hopefully helpful to you. Please use the information provided responsibly and at your own risk.”
