No problems during vacuum. I'll check with Steve Kan just to be sure that they won't. My motor went( due to old age ) and he is replacing it for me. I'll ask him tommorow and get back with you.
I personally promote and believe the solution to compression seal lubrication is the use of 2-stroke, outboard engine oil. A great deal of the aircraft rotary folks use 2-stroke oil in their fuel tanks. It's not unheard of to have engines lasting a substantially longer amount of time vs. 4-stroke oil metering. Combustion chamber surfaces remain much cleaner (much less carbon buildup). They also seem to run much better and smoother.

Kandy at Pettit pulled out a housing from an engine using the OMP and it had a nice shiney line around the middle of the housing where the engine oil was being injected. She then pulled a housing that was using premix. Nice and shiney all the way across.
I was a sceptic of pre-mix until she showed me that.
Not I am a firm believer in it. I just bought 3 gallons of Pettits Protek to mix. Up until this point I was using Amsiol.
We just put a hose nipple on the end of my injectors and clamped them off.

i have plenty of trans experience aswell
i havent seen the engne run yet im just going off what po said
and now that i think about it i will check the modulator line to see if the is a little oil in it
the trans has 160,000 miles on it and is a possible cause
thanks for getting my wheels turning

well i found bolts that would fit perfectly (m10 x 1.25 x 20) but was informed of the difference in accuracy of machine bolts, and automotive grade bolts. Long story short, the identical machine grade bolt (I could only find machine grade) doesn't fit near as tight as the oil injectors. I think I'm just going to cut the nipple off the back of the injectors and hit it w/ a spot weld, then sand to smooth. You guys think that would work well??
I was just thinking of sealing the outer part of the injector, should I weld the hole on the bottom shut as well??
