stevron Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Has anyone made or can tell me where to get ( purchase) a dry air pump to use on my lycoming engine to stop condensation build up during winter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camel Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 One of my habits of putting an aircraft away after flying is loosen and lift oil dipstick to allow any moisture in oil to evaporate and after the plane is packed up I replace and do up dip stick. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVOCET Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 One of my habits of putting an aircraft away after flying is loosen and lift oil dipstick to allow any moisture in oil to evaporate and after the plane is packed up I replace and do up dip stick. I would have thought that the moisture would have already evaporated on a hot engine if the o/t were 85 c + The condensation comes back as the engine get cold, ie during a cold night Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevron Posted August 4, 2013 Author Share Posted August 4, 2013 Avocet. You might think that but, lycombing engines rust the cam shaft lobes, well that's what happened to a friend of mines 235, so it's important to either reduce moisture or use it more . The later is what I would like to do . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
