I have no idea about the volume argument, but empirically it did not

happen
on my plane. The TIO-540 has an 8 qt capacity. Anything over 6.5 quarts

gets
blown out, before and after the M-20 went in.


This doesn't make sense to me.

A) Why would your TIO-540 blow everything except 6.5 quarts, while my

O-540
would settle at 8?


My engine only holds 8. I believe yours holds quite a bit more.



B) Why would any oil "blow over" at all with the air/oil separator
installed?


I can't explain this one. I know oil/air seperator's clain to stop blow by,
but at least in my plane, the level stays at 6.5. Just empiracal data.
