oil filter relocation, scavenge pump

[philip]

nybody relocated their oil filter on a 172? considering doing this for convenience and to make it easier to fit TBs. Also, the adaptor can carry an oil temp/pressure sensor to feed info to a new gauge on cockpit. badly missing on 172s.

While were on the subject, anybody fit a scavenge pump, baffled sump or equivalent on a 172?

Stupid question, but is there any need to move it for the TBs????

no you dont have to, unless your panning on pointing them at the floor.

As for baffling the sum and/or dry sumping.......are you getting any surge problems?

If not, dont bother. cant see a point.

i want to add an oil pressure/temp sensor and move the filter. asking if somebodys done it. I guess not.

For TBs, access to the oil filter requires removal of the front bumper. i already change oil regularly and will be doing so more often

sure add a sender.....its not a major operation...and quite handy.
