[C320-list] PYI PSS help

[Jeff Church]

Joe,

I removed the drain petcock at the aft end of the exhaust manifold heat exchanger and replaced it with a brass barbed fitting. A hose connects that to the barbed fitting on the PSS. The hole in the heat exchanger has metric threads that are not quite identical to 1/4" NPT so I ran a 1/4" NPT tap thru them (I think it was 1/4", but it was a few years ago) and then the barbed fitting threaded correctly.

Here is a pic from the 320 site:

Good luck,

JeffC

  I recently installed the replacement to the PYI PSS shaft seal that is
  vented. It requires that the vent hose be installed 2 ft above the
  watereline. It is not obvious to me where I can run the vent hose to achieve
  the necessary height. Any suggestions would be welcomed.

  Thanks,
