I probably should have made it clear that the air/oil sep is a Piper
factory installation, not Lycoming.


That's interesting. Who manufactured it for Piper?


No clue. Had a generic Piper part number inked on it.

Looks about like a tuna can with a shallow funnel attached to the
bottom with a drain fitting attached.

Inlet is a piece of tubing scarf-cut and welded on to the side of the
"can" so the airflow would tend to rotate around in the can (I guess).

Outlet straight up out of the center of the flat lid screwed to the
top of the sep. There's a cylindrical (sp?) screen with a flat bottom
welded to the inside of the lid.

Is mounted relatively close to the breather fitting on the accessory
case, I'm guessing the hose connecting the engine to the sep inlet is
less than six inches long.
