LOWER CYLINDER OIL LEAKS
Oil and radials come hand in hand. After shut down oil must drain to the lower cylinders. Oil will weep past the piston
rings and if an exhaust valve is open it will end up on the floor. If an inlet valve is open, it will fill the intake pipes. That is
why intake drains on the lower cylinders must be open at all times when the engine is shut down to prevent hydraulic
lock.
After shutdown, we recommend you attached containers on the exhaust pipes to catch oil as it drains. You can catch
oil from the intake drains by connecting 1/2’’ hose. Drained oil is always reused by using a strainer and funnel to recy-
cle it back into the oil tank. The Rotec Radial can fill the containers by up to 2 liters after shutdown, making recycling
important.
Oil can also siphon from a high mounted oil tank. To stop this use an anti-drain back oil filter or oil shut off tap be
-
tween the oil tank and inlet of the oil pump.
The electric oil scavenger pump helps to minimize oil loss as it pulls all unwanted oil out of the engine after shutdown.
Aside from the exhaust and intake drains, oil should not leak from other areas.
