Annual 2024: Oil Screen Housing cracked
Hi All,
My A&P reports the housing to my oil screen has a cracked ear (or something), and needs to be replaced.
I was wondering if I should opt for the adapter for a spin-on. But these hard oil cooler lines seem to be interfering.

Any thoughts? It seems like the B and C adapter requires a spacer, and that spacer wouldn't be able to sit where it needs to.
Thanks

You would have to swap out the hard lines for flex with completely different fittings into the accessory case.
I probably have half a dozen used housings, shoot me a call in the morning. 541-826-9729

Picture here of what I got into with the hardline when installing an oil filter adapter. https://www.shortwingpipers.org/foru...Filter-Adapter
Soft lines are the way to go in my opinion. If you do stay with the oil screen I have several housings as well.
Those ears cracking is a common issue, maybe over torqueing or multiple cycles. Some useful info posted here on servicing the oil screen. https://www.shortwingpipers.org/foru...rst-Oil-Change

Install soft oil lines and a spin on filter . I did it after 2or 3 annuals . Was tired of the mess with the screen and just can’t deal with an engine with no oil filter . I have an I/A that will allow me to do my work .He signs off after inspection. The guys on this forum gave me all the knowledge and confidence to do it
However , if you don’t want to go that route I have a housing for an 0-320 you can have
