Nick Lappos Quoote re Tests

Sox 6, could you be mixing up two very different tests?

We never passed any, much less six, 30 minute loss of oil tests. That failure led to the bypass switch design.

Following the bypass switch incorporation, multiple tests were accomplished successfully to more than 30 minutes ( remember, in bypass, the oil cooler is out of the flow loop and thus oil temperature is of interest ). The results of those tests are reflected in the RFM procedures.

I've known Nick a long long time and he has never put out anything untrue.

Thanks,
John Dixson
