    Since you are in hot and humid Savannah you might want to consider getting one (or two) of these.

      Best solution is to run your motors. If you can’t use it, lose it. Who wants to fly in a plane that has been parked for 2-3 months? Those Yamaha Jet boat thingies are expensive. The bow rider looking critters with two motorcycle engines. One at yard has been sitting for at least a year, maybe two. Not gonna run most likely now.

      Assume that thing is to control crankcase humidity?

        Yeah, I remember when these first started to appear in the magazines. A neat concept and makes sense to the unitiated perhaps. The real trick is to get the moisture out of the oil, and the only real way to do that is to fly it. A 10 minute ground run does not get hot enough to bake the oil dry, it must be flown.

        Now possibly a circulation system with a cardev filter would treat the oil but still need the oil bath protective film from running to protect the camshaft... so again, fly it or lose it.

        We get factory engines that have been treated. If the crankshaft has been moved, it wipes the treatment off the exposed area and must be treated again to go back into suspended (non) animation.
        If its got teats or tires, you bound to have trouble with it....
