      That would be a value for the overload clutch break away not the friction torque resistance that we are testing for in the video. Both require locking the crank shaft as described in the video.

    1. Did you actually rotated the prop. 50Xs?? 6:39. You mention putting 2.5 lt of oil, then running the engine, burp, then adding the additional remaining oil, correct? How long did you run the engine for? Great video!!!!

    If there is at least one spark plug removed from each cylinder, there are no blow-by gases available to increase crankcase pressure and push oil back from the dry sump (the bottom of the crankcase) into the return line. Maybe that's why the return line is directed against the ground, so oil can follow gravity. However, while it is clearly in the interest of safety to remove the spark plug so the engine won't be able to suddenly start, I wonder if there is a real technical reason for removing the spark plugs. You say you turn the prop about 100 times before you see oil coming out of the return lines. Why is that? If the spark plugs were fitted, it would only take a few rotations of the propeller to increase the crankcase air pressure enough (by manually created blow-by gases during engine compression). I know you just follow guidance provided by Rotax, but still I wonder if having the spark plugs fitted would impede the oil purge in some way. Any ideas?

    Hi Jeremy, thanks for sharing your experience. Do you know how prone is it to damage the valve gaskets? I want to measure the lifter distance but do not have the spare gaskets. Also, when draining the oil lines on 915 engines, should I drain the turbo sump, turbo oil suction line, and turbo oil pressure line as well? If I do, will purging make the turbo lines prime? Really appreciate your suggestion.

    Great thorough videos. Few weeks ago I had the thrust washer fail on my 912iS at 1700 hrs. Found lots of plastic debris in the bottom of the oil tank, and some slivers of metal. I've now replaced engine for new one. During take off I had drop in oil pressure followed by spike in oil temp and surging of my hydraulic prop, landed without issue. Probably could have had gear box rebuilt and flush engine but I use for survey work so I opted to replace the engine.

    does that bolt that you safety wired the magplug to have a hole in it? if not what's to stop the safety wire from slipping off the head of the bolt ?

    • @JM_Aeroservice
      @JM_Aeroservice Před 10 měsíci

      The angle of the bolt and the tension in the wire keep it from wanting to slip off, some people drill the bolt head but it’s really not necessary

    Hi I have an oil leak on the round chamber above the bearing. It is sealed with an O-ring as far as I know. Can the O-ring be replaced with the gear box removed? Or can it only be replaced by separating both half's of the crankcase?

    • @JM_Aeroservice
      @JM_Aeroservice Před 10 měsíci

      Hi yes the gearbox needs to be removed, there’s a screw holding the cap in place and it can be tapped out, oring replaced and reinstalled without splitting the case

  • @michaelrobbig-reyes5525

    Great video. I use Avgas as well, maybe 60%, I installed the Curtis drain valve and had a lot of trouble opening the valve. Luckily I did not apply excessive force or used a tool. Turned out my 2016 Bristell with the ULS has a modified shelf at the bottom of the tank which is curved towards the bottom, preventing the drain valve to come out. So in the future is it OK to just open the clamp a bit before opening the valve?
