i never said anything about the adapter.


I still call into question the need for a warning about the product richard ships over 1 broken bolt.


Don't be offended but, you might want to read thoroughly more often....

if you really think 1 person with 1 problem with 1 BOLT is enough to need to warn the whole internet....well.....neat.

In general no, it's not enough to warn "the whole interwebz" over a broken bolt.

Now, over a bolt that goes into the engine block where the product itself is time consuming and finicky to get in there initially then yes, I thought a warning would be nice just in case someone feels the bolt not tightening up. Otherwise I suppose I could of said nothing and someone gets the same issue turning the bolt never feeling it get tight and voila; a broken end of a bolt stuck in their engine block.

You literally would have hardly if any room to get a tool in there to remove it without pulling the engine. So yes, I felt the potential for disaster justified the warning for the relevant thread concerning a product if the screws are taken from the same supplier and another bad batch comes along.

By the way, it was 2 bolts that started to give way out of the 3. 1 of them was just drastically twisted to it's last thread.

mac11 - I usually respect what you have to say, but at times it seems you're just looking for a fight. I'm sure Richard buys his bolts like everyone else, so you don't need to be his protector unless you know that he inspects and tests every bolt he ships.

Vlaze - you seem to be saying that the bolt in question was twisted multiple times without shearing - as if it was made of rubber. If that's the case, it would certainly be something I've never experienced.

Does anyone worry about the temperature of the premix? It rarely gets cold her but this morning it was in the low 40's and it got me thinking of what effect cold premix had. I mean I know how hot it is in the combustion chamber but does teh premix temperature going in have any effect on anything?
It is a good idea to think about things like this, but I haven't worried about it and been totally fine. I live in Fargo, ND right now... and it gets past -20degF at times. Due to a mechanical failure on the Subaru I drove my '90 RX-7 all winter last year with the Sohn OMP adapter on it, no problems. I use Royal Purple 2-stroke oil.

Underhood temps are warm enough to thaw it out after a short time.

My solution ;)

I tapped a Greddy Catch can and I am planning on putting it up front next to MSCAI when I get it. I'll post pics when I get it installed.

That's a very interesting tank and location, corres78. I worry about the location of the output of the tank. It could introduce air under hard acceleration, but only if the tank was running real low. Shouldn't be an issue as long as it is checked and topped off periodically.

I do like the setup as I think it's more economical and less invasive. The setup I have is an exact copy of Nemesis8's. That required a new, smaller battery and some cutting of the battery tray to fit the oil tank. There is still the issue of securing the tank and battery.

Hi!

I don't think, that this will be a problem as long as the oillevel is over 1/3 (capacity of the tank is 0,9 liter / ca. 1/4 gallon). My oillevel sensor (not installed yet) will give me alarm, when the level is below 1/2 (at ca. 450 ml). ;) Max line is at ca. 0,8 liter.

Does anybody know where to get an adapter these days? Quick searching on Google didn't find anything except maybe an aviation site. The first pages of the thread said he sold through email but that was 6 years ago. Any help is appreciated!

This is the place, bought one about 5 months ago:
