My question is about the oil level sensor. Is anybody using it

and

if

it

is useful. If not I would like to remove it and use the port to

return

the

drain back oil from the PSRU

I think the PSRU oil should go in above the normal oil level in

the

pan.

I'm also looking for a place to return my PSRU oil.  I'm keeping

My only other thought (short of disassembling the block and

a

hole) is to put a little auxiliary tank (maybe 2"x2"x4") maybe

located

under the plugs or between the rotors where the unused engine

mount

is

and then hook up a 1/2" drain tube on the bottom into the oil

pan, a

breather tube connected to the unused breather outlet next to the

oil

filler, and a 3/8" tube to the PSRU.

Another option is to put in a "mongo sized" tube (e.g. 1" ID)

directly

into the oil pan and then a reducer to 3/8" somewhere above the
full-level. I think the 1" tube would allow the froth from the

PSRU

to

dissipate.

Any thoughts?

Joe, you just gave me the solution. I have blocked the oil metering

pump

with 1/4" aluminum plate. I can tap it and install 3/8" tube fitting

for

the

PSRU return oil. Thanks.

I simply took off the pan, and put in an AN-6 bulkhead fitting sealed
with some gasket maker.  Took far less time than I thought - take the
bolts off, pan off, drill hole, install fitting, replace pan... done.
