Oil system Mods

Now I have removed all oil galley plugs and replacing those with the better ones. The plug near the fuel pump was replaced like this.

Thats about all you can do with a case that originally had a fuel pump.. Or you can leave the fuel pump guide in pl;ace and leave the galley plug alone, with the guide in place you'll never expose the out galley to pressure...

I had to replace the original oil plug, because behind it there is an engine oil system pressure. Only way to get the security to the oil system was to remove the fuel pump guide also and install the new oil plug deeper to the case. I also have to plug the fuel pump guide hole from inside the case and seal the oil return line from the fuel pump mounting area.

That case was mis-drilled!
The guide typically covers almost the entire galley!

I have seen this before, but it is very odd.

I´ve taken that plug away from two different cases and the guide has been at the same place.

I have one more case untouched, I´ll take a look about that one also soon.

Edit:grammar...

What series was this case?

These two cases had the guide at the same place:

This case wasn´t drilled for fuel pump guide:

I have still one case untouched.
