Nice work! Very nicely done 😊🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

What about the compression washer that came with the 912 oil change kit I bought from LEAF? I didn't see that mentioned anywhere.

Hi, can you hand prime without presrure ? and purge the lines of air if you dont have access to a compressor etc, thank you.

Great 👍🏻👍🏻

Great

My Rotax powered aircraft was spitting oil today. Upon inspection, the oil filter was noticeably loose. Wondering if it was improperly installed or vibrated loose over time. Mechanic said the Rotax motor is the only airplane motor he knows of where the oil filter doesn’t lock into place. Dipstick reading in the middle pre- and post-flight.

Very nice Video, good explanation, very good part when you show the tools which are neccesary. Greeting Germany

Cool, wich material are the red short tubes?

Not until KZbin lets me monetize 😅

Any chance you’re planning a in-depth video on this one?

Very well done. Good editing. Thanks!!!

mate greetings from Australia. just came across your channel. great information and very well explained. look forward to viewing more content. cheers

Great video! What causes that damage?

EMOTIONAL DAMAGE!!! 😂 GREAT TO HEAR SOME WARREN ZEVON!! WELL DONE.

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.

Thank you for your time with making this video.

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

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!!

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 ?

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?
