912 oil pump

[SkySteve]

the newer Rotax oil filters have solved this problem with an anti drain back valve

I was told (a long time ago) that with the manifold reversed on the older 912's, the Rotax oil filter would not fit. As a result, I've never used one. I'm willing to try now that they have apparently solved the drain back issue. But, will it fit or is it too long and will it therefore hit the exhaust header? There's not much space there.

The intake manifold reversal has no bearing on the oil filter.

I haven't had any issue with the new Rotax filter having interference on the exhaust header on my plane.

Okedoke then. You've just uncovered one of the 2 million reasons I'm a flyer, not a builder! Thanks for the help.

We still love 'ya, Steve.

I WILL get out there and fly with you someday…

THAT would be great! Looking forward to it. And really, thanks for the help.
