sorry, gene, you are only partly right. yes, that is a propeller, but no it
does not scrub the oil off.
So, what does the scraper ring scrape? Where does the replenishing
oil come from and how long does it take to get there?
you pull the prop through many times
*that*, I'd like to see....
(or crank
over with the mags turned off) to bring the oil pressure up to pressure to
lube
the bearings before startup.
While you are trying to build pressure up in the oil system, how are
all of those portions of the engine that are splash lubed getting oil?
There are Lycoming engines that receive NO oil to the cam, the gears,
valve train, or cylinders unless there is splash lubrication. While
you are concentrating on the main bearings, everything else is running
dry.
