gasket??

Post by yanknbank »

I'm about to start a pretty intensive annual on the new to me m5-210c. I've got a mountain of packages from aircraft spruce and others containing my anticipated told and replacement parts. I'm missing info on a couple things though.

Can anyone tell me what gasket the oil screen uses? I'd like to order a few, and I'm not home to take it out and measure it. I'd like to get the part sent asap.

Also, it's got an old gascolator that may or may not need to be replaced depending on what it looks like inside, but I don't know what gasket it would use either. There is no identifying information on the unit. Here's a picture. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for the help

Can’t help with model or numbers. Mine looks pretty similar, we didn’t change the gasket. Not that I specifically remember a gasket. Cleaned the screen and called it good.

If you have a Lycoming engine the sump oil screen gasket is a MS35769-21 copper crush gasket.

If no gasket, then great. Thanks for that Intel.

I have a Continental io360. I'll throw some-21 seals in the cart in case they fit, thanks.

The ANSWER, from the M-4 Parts Catalog DVD: it's a Gerdes A-1040-1. According to dwg # 5182XrevD, this apparently was installed on SN 1081C & later, at least with the TCM IO-360.

The factory has a replacement kit (Service Kit #2) for installing a new Sigma-Tek gascolater. I replaced my with a SteveAir gascolater, a less expensive solution.

Re: oil changes - gasket??

Post by Wingman12 »

I'm prepping for the annual inspection for my Maule M4-210C with the Continental IO-360 engine and want to have the necessary parts on-hand to reduce down-time. Having previously dealt with Lycoming oil screens/gaskets, I'm trying to pin-down the proper parts and procedures for this Continental engine. Specifically, these items dealing with the oil screens and the new washers/gaskets that will be needed. Can someone please lend their knowledge and experience? Following are my info and questions so far:
From the Continental maintenance/parts manual, Accessory case diagram pages 12 and 13:
Oil screen: reference number 45 "Oil Screen Assembly" part number 530003 - Is this the "pressure screen" that needs to be cleaned at every-other oil change?
Crush washer: reference number 44 "Gasket, Annular" part number AN900-28 - Is this an MS35769-21 crush washer, for the Oil Screen Assembly?
Oil sender crush washer: reference number 46 "Gasket, Annular" part number AN900-10 - Is this the crush washer for the oil temperature sender?
Oil suction/scavenge screen: reference number 49 "Screen Assembly, Suction" part number 530005 - Does this need to be pulled and cleaned? What intervals?
Crush washer: reference number 48 "Gasket, Annular" part number AN900-16 - Is this the crush washer for the oil suction/scavenge screen?
What are the updated part numbers and sources for these "Gasket, Annular" items?
Are there specific torque values for re-installation of these items?
Any other tips/notes about oil changes (mine has the quick-drain at the bottom of the oil pan/sump).
Thanks!

for anyone who may still be running this gascolator. This company sells o-rings that seem to be a really good fit. I don't know what it used originally, but the groove dimensions are 81mm diameter by 2.25mm thickness. APG has 81x2mm or 81x2.5mm. If this is a bad idea, id appreciate the heads up, otherwise, I think the 2.5mm will adequately seal.

Can confirm, this fits very well. Get some 2.5mm also.
