Jerry,

I have a Renesis.  I am planning on a radiator underneath, not sure
which brand etc.... just trying to bite off little chunks at a time.
;-)

I would like to order a oil pan and oil pickup.
Thanks,
Paul



Paul, the pan depth can be greater or shallower depending on how much
room you have.  I suggest you ask Paul Lamar to model the pan for
your particular installation.  He will need to know  the depth of the
firewall and the engine thrust line.  Jerry

I did not do a 3D on Paul's Glass Star so I don't know
how deep it can be. As I recall he has a motor mount.
He must decide where he is going to put the rad.

The rad is going underneath.  No S-beam so we can gain a little oil
pan volume.  I was hoping that k11 could provide enough info to just
look at the depth of the pan.  I am filing all this info so the next
time we see a Glass Star,  I won't have to ask for another drawing.
I guess it could be mocked up.  Level the plane, measure down from
the pan flange to see how much space there is to the bottom of the
cowl.   Jerry


Here are some pictures of his motor mount.
Get Paul K to send you a sketch of the pan
he wants.

Paul K, Go for about 8 quarts IMHO. 232 cubic inches in a gallon
and four quarts to a gallon. 500 cubic inches is about
5 inches deep on average. 3 inches down on the front
and 7 inches down on the rear. Roughly speaking.
