Re: C170A Unusual Take Off ( Elevator Oscillation )
Thanks for that....I will check cable tension....although I suspect because of my limited experience flying off grass strips there is probably nothing wrong with the plane......this may be the main reason why Cessna start installing lead in the elevators......wish I had balanced elevators

Re: Oil Leak
I am not talking about the crush gasket at the reielf valve......there is a copper gasket that is manufactured into the Accessory case gasket...it is part of that large gasket.....This copper ring is where the oil passes thru from the accessory case to the crankcase.....

Oil Leak
I had my sump and accessorie case off, put everything back together and now I have an oil leak, a very slow run seems to be coming from the seam between acc. case and crankcase right beside the oil presure relief valve....I is obviously a presure leak at the passage way......took the back case off.....
