You've turned metal into a whole bunch of beautiful parts, Rich. Thanks for the compliment. I'd like to see that rack... did you say something about The Spice Girls?

Well, I don't have John's machining skill, but FEISTY's builder had a sense of humour:
The interesting thing about it, you can see the oil level, even in the picture.
When the weather get cool, and oil temp is too low, you can see water drops in that bottle. When I put the air block-off plate in front of the oil cooler and took it for a flight to warn up the oil, the oil in the bottom was water free and as clean as the oil on the dipstick.
Before, I was against letting the oil drian back into the engine, but now I don't feel so strongly about it.
