Hi Guys,
It's annual time again and our AI was going to check the operation of our vernatherm and opened the housing and it was empty, no vernatherm.
We have a 1974 7ECA with a O235-C1 engine which came from the factory with out an oil cooler. We have installed an airdwolf oil filter kit which included the vernatherm housing, but obviously we did not get a vernatherm with the kit.
We also installed at a later time an oil cooler using ACA parts.
Now the sticky part. Our AI looked in our engine manual which came from Bellanca with the AC does not show a vernatherm since it had no oil cooler originally so he tells us we need FAA approval via a 337 to put a vernatherm into our housing.
I called ACA and was told I would have to convert my C1 engine to a K2C in order for the vernatherm to be legal. "What does that entail?, I asked and was told add an oil cooler(which we have).
I called Lycoming and spoke with tech and Dennis told me that his 235-C1 parts catalogue shows a vernatherm as part of the oil system so we should be ok to put one into the housing.
I told our AI this and he said he would look into it and get back to me.
This is a long way around to ask if anyone has added an Airwolf filter kit and an oil cooler and if you have a vernatherm.
If Jerry Jr is listening, is it legal for us to stick a vernatherm into the Airwolf housing?
Thanks,
Ron
