[rebel-builders] Oil filler tube too close to engine mount
Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2012 5:58 pm
My name is Kirk Hiner from Minnesota. My dad and I built Rebel R142 and we put an O-320 Lycoming in it. We also had a
problem with the Oil filler tube. What we did was buy a shorter Tube and cut the Rod off and remarked it for the new oil
level readings. Our oil door on the cowling is on the side and we can reach in and check the oil as we are able to get the
rod past the motor mount. Not quite as handy but it works.

Any Rebel out there with O-320 engine has the problem with oil filler tube contacting the engine mount?
