    Maybe the pilot could call in to Druidvale in the Flinders ranges on the way , about half way from WA to QLD . Just to be on the safe side , L2 and experienced jab bloke , Mike 86484018

    Have you tryed fresh oil , ? Check also if theres any play ( slack ) in the rocker arms , On TDC there should be no gap at the tappet clearence . If there is , they could need bleeding , Mike

    Also , doing run ups on a gravel or loose surface , can give you a chipped and damaged prop , and of its not you r aircraft , you might get a tounge lashing , or worse , a bill for repair . Its good practice to start the take off roll and do a quick mag check , The jaby engine doesnt have mags as such , so you are only doing a " function " test of the coils . Quickly . Left on / off , right on/ off , You dont need a long drawn out test ( cesnas ect) On the jab engine , long " mag " checks only serve to fowl plugs , and if done while stationary , will create a small tornado on the ground in fromt of the prop and suck up stones and such .

    If as you sugest , the J engines are the same and the problems are difference in operational handling and maintance , wont by that logic , those same operators trash and break the camit engines as well??? Aircooled is aircooled , Go liquid cooled ! If weights an issue , i lost 17 kgs by just not having enough money to buy food . ( joke) Realy , i just started to eat smaller meals ! Mike

    I think its recomended to check the torque every 200 hrs on older engines ( without looking it up ) During a visual check during a survive , i noticed at the back of the fly wheel a streak of oil radiating from the hub , It turned out to be one sheared bolt ! All the rest were ok , but just goes to show , if this sign was ignored , or worse , missed , would probably resulted in a flywheel failure , For the record , this early 2200 had been used in FTF and had a 44 in pitch prop . ( recomended 42 in pitch ) From memory engine hrs on rebuilt engine 480 hrs Airframe 6750 hrs LSA55 s/n 015 ( an early one ) Mike

    I havnt done the dowel mod on the jab , have done similar work though , i have the gear to make the jig up to suit , jab have the procedure to follow ,straight forward enough . Again with this type of work you have to be able and confident . Be happy to help Mile .
