<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Hello everyone,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>So I am getting close to plugging all the oil leaks on my
TR4A IRS but I have a question for the list.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>One of the sources of leaking oil was relating to the cast
aluminum oil filter assembly. Specifically there were two leaks;</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>1. There was a leak between the large hex "bolt"on top of
the oil filter casting and the casting. Easy fix, just had to tighten the
"bolt"</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>2. The second leak was between the lock nut holding the
screw that holds the screw locked into item 1 and the hex "bolt". </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>There was no mention of this assembly in my shop manual
but I did find an exploded view of the cast aluminum oil filter attachment
assembly. The exploded view shows "lead wire" as a sealant between that
adjustment screw and the hex "bolt". From the exploded view, it looks like
you are just supposed to wrap two or three turns around the locking nut and
tighten it up.. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>My question is, what have other people used to replace the
"lead wire"?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I think what happened is that years ago when I was
cleaning the aluminum oil filter attachment assembly, I put it back together off
the engine and probably didn't have a way to really tighten either pieces. I
cleaned it all off with carb cleaner after I tightened them and went for a quick
spin and all seems dry!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Two down and no idea how many more but it is marking it's
territory less and less.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Regards,</FONT></DIV>
