Engine Failure on Mountain Top Takeoff

First outting since being grounded for 2 months. Felt good! Jake's engine gave us a bit of a scare but still made for a fun adventure.

@@guyvanbrussel9772 That's what it sounded like to me too. I've never had, or heard of that happening in any engine till now. It sounded like the bloke they talked to on the phone knew what it was as soon as they described things though. The gist of it that I picked up before that was that the plugs electrode was getting hammered back and closing the gap to where it couldn't throw a spark, I'm usually pretty good at finding and fixing problems with engines, that one (assuming he hadn't just put longer plugs in for some reason would have had me scratching my head though.

Trent, I've flown most Airbuses (currently operate the A-380) and have been an airline pilot for the last 12+ years.

I had that exact same problem once. Fortunately, I had just taken off from where my main mechanic was located. I knew something was not right and easily made it back to the runway. A quick compression test confirmed that I made the right decision. Had that happened in a location like you guys were in, I would have had to change my underwear.

[@velocity550]

Love your stabilized camera in the back, gives a better perspective of the bank angles. Sorry Jake had some problems. I knew when the electrode was hammered that was going to need a cylinder. A new definition of "field repair". My dad parked his J-3 in a cow pasture one night and came back with most of the fabric missing.

[@rodralston2279]

Thanks for extending the video to show us what the problem was. Wow! Never heard of a valve guide breaking.

[@user-oj4xh8cg2l]

what is shown on the footage is a valve lacking its spring collet keepers (the 2 halves that keep it within the collet thanks to spring pressure) - is that linked to a valve guide issue? that would be interesting to know. Usually the problems with valve guides is they are worn out and let oil pass by, they are too tight (improper reaming tolerances) and get the valve seized or stuck, or they move (when poorly installed, e.g. wrong press fit tolerances)... A moving guide may lead to valve moving, seating poorly, then things starting to break things within the combustion chamber like plugs after getting off its spring somehow, but I don't picture clearly how the initial issue would be the valve guide breaking.

[@Gregs_World]

Trent, it is great to see you with these videos again and happy that you could all go play on the other side of the hill happy that we didn't have a worse ending with that near engine failure and the acting up cylinder number one even after he landed the second time and try to run it up the hill, putting more stress on that engine... I'm glad it didn't seize and therefore, cost, and infinitely more money to fix interesting look of the no man's land on the way home and wondering as you did where you would land... if you had an issue always a challenge always a challenge thanks for sharing and look forward to the next one Of course, I really appreciate the last little bit of footage showing the resolution to the issue that was terrific good to have good friends and accessible help to get back in the air, just three days later and remove that electric fence from the COW GNAWING....

[@maxmaxmaxmaxmaxmaxmaxmaxmax1]

Trent, thank you for putting out this video. If you are ever in the southern Ontario region, I owe you a beer. Because of this video, my student did not experience complete power loss while up in the air today. (TL;DR below) I received a call from a student of mine today who was flying on his personal C172. He was complaining of "severe" engine vibration in flight, but said that it went away after he applied carb heat. He decided to come around and land as soon as possible anyway to check it out. I told him about the effects of carb icing and how it can be a hazard to flying. He then told me that he had some engine roughness on the right mag when he did his runup. Fine, that's probably spark plug fowling. I told him to do a runup and try to clear the fowling with the procedure in the POH, but if it didn't work, it could be something as serious as a cracked cylinder head (this video was popping into my head). He calls me back an hour later to let me know that it didn't clear, so he grabbed an AME. During a boroscope of the cylinder, they found a crack. ----- tl;dr: This video put the idea and symptoms of a cracked cylinder in my head and when my student called with those symptoms, he got an AME instead of a takeoff clearance and lived to fly another day.

I've worked on ground-based engines almost my whole life, and have never seen a plug electrode get smashed closed on anything that didn't lose a con-rod, or grenade internally. Not familiar at all with how that aircraft engine is laid out, but the valve, due to the bad guide, must've had enough slop in it to move over and smack the plug! INTERESTING! I'll always remember this one. 😎 Not to mention, AMAZING videography of the flight! I know I'd have been overjoyed to be back at it, after all those weeks grounded. Thanks for another great one! 👍👍

[@JimForeman]

Break the outside spring on a valve at full RPM and it will knock a valve in so far it's clipped by the top of the piston, bending it over against the plug.

[@SmittySmithsonite]

Seen a valve drop in and bye bye engine. Valve had turned 180 and was growing out of the top of the piston like a mushroom.

[@SmittySmithsonite]

@@ColinWatters - HA! I've seen that before in a race bike. Also saw piston ring lands smashed flat from too much boost - that was something! Looked like someone put the piston in a 20-ton press, and hung on the jack handle. :) I'm a big fan of 2-strokes. I ride a '74 RD350 I restored 9 years ago. Love that bike.
