I was changing the oil in 2884L the other day, and I was looking for a way to minimize oil spilling while I remove the oil filter. The O-320 in the Warrior has a horizontally mounted oil filter on the top rear of the engine. Removing the filter usually results in a cascade of hot, dirty oil down the back of the engine, all over the fuel pump, and the inside of the cowling. The clean-up is no fun.
I had tried a few methods in the past, but all resulted in spills and pain-in-the-ass cleanups. I tried something new this time. I cut the top off an old oil bottle and then made a relief cut in one long side of the bottle. This allowed me to position the bottle below the filter at an angle.
I don’t have a picture of the oil catcher in use, but I didn’t spill a drop.
Future mods may include a strap to hold the bottle in place but it works just fine by hand.
I stopped at a convenience store this morning to get some snacks. I wondered what the marketing folks were trying to tell me about their product. Since I don’t read Japanese, I turned to Google Translate’s handy photo translation capability.
First Product, Chocolate covered puffed wheat:
Google Translate:
Wheat chocolate It is fragrant and nostalgic taste. It is a snack that stops when you eat.
Uh huh.
Second product, Squid Jerky:
Google Translate:
I baked about Kanamekara firmly. The taste spreads in the garbage mouth 16 g
You don’t say!
Today I deburred the top wing skin parts and dimpled the appropriate parts per plans page 16-2 Step 6. Test reassembled and everything fits pretty nicely. I had set up the DRDT-2 dimpler a while back for prior work and it was still set up well. It didn’t need any adjustment, and the dimples came out looking crisp and flat.
