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.
So 100 gram is 0.981 Newton
1.019 grams is 1 newton
mate greetings from Australia. just came across your channel. great information and very well explained. look forward to viewing more content. cheers
Awesome, thank you!🙏🏼
Great video! What causes that damage?
EMOTIONAL DAMAGE!!! 😂 GREAT TO HEAR SOME WARREN ZEVON!! WELL DONE.
Warren Zevon -- always a good call!
That’s not that bad
Did you tighten the screw that holds the thingabob to the dodywacky is what I always say to my mate when he fixes them 😅❤
How it should be done 💪🏼
Ouch
Flex pipe my friend
Is this part 1?
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!!!!
Excellent video, kudos to you my fine sir !
Excellent tutorial. Thanks.
You're welcome!
Thank you for your time with making this video.
My pleasure!
Very nice, thank you! If you did want to drain the oil cooler, what is the procedure to fill the system? 100 turns?
Your Rotax oil change videos are very helpful and greatly appreciated. Thank you!

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?
If I put four of these babies on my car could I fly?
When balancing carbs would you recommend the carbmate or analog gauges ? Could you recommend where i can buy either ? Thank you
Excellent videos! Nice detailed description of the process
Forgot your gloves for possible lead LOL
Will this procedure work with a high-flow in-line engine oil thermostat install?
Thanks a lot! Perfect step-by-step process description! Go ahead!!!!
very helpful indeed.
Excellent
Love to see a video pulling the gearbox and sending off for inspection.
I fill my oil filter with oil before installing. I think that’s the procedure now.
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.
Just started working these Rotex powerplants, good vid ,kudos to you!!!!!
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.
THX!! TBoone
Excellent!!
Thank you!
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 ?
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

Thank you I hope it was helpful!
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?
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
Yea it's just a plane ?
What’s the best number to get ahold of you for Rotax work?
Ohhhhh yeah we need to tires shiny .... One more time
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?
O my gosh 😂
To be honest and just a few minutes away I 5y want you no what to do a pcr so should be fine 🙂 8
Thanks! It's a waste that they don't sell new springs
Where's the music!
Do you have a link for the correct cap to put over the oil tank fitting? Thanks.
Do you have a full video on pneumatic synchronisation??
