So true... years ago my husband had an engine out.. The A&P that had performed the annual failed to safety wire the oil drain plug after the change... naturally, some hours in, that plug worked itself out, and the engine seized. Thank goodness there was appropriate time and terrain for a smooth landing in a corn field.

[@michaelcordero5588]

"Wire the oil drain plug" ??

[@milolc]

@@michaelcordero5588 On safety critical bolts/nuts/etc there are these things called "safety wires". Basically you have a wire that ties the nut and bolt together in such a way that they cannot turn. Similar to a castle nut with a cotter pin, but even more secure. Obviously a drain plug isn't exactly a bolt+nut, but a similar idea applies. I have never worked on an airplane, but the same thing is used in all kinds of industries where you really don't want things falling apart in operation.

[@williamgeorge7160]

A licensed A&P can perform either 100 hr inspection or an annual inspection. Annual inspections must have the appropriate log book entries approving the aircraft for return to service. This requires the mechanic to have an IA rating attached to his certification this stands for inspector authorization. A mechanic with just an a&p certification can only make log book entries on 100 hour inspections. Most aircraft engines have a quick drain these are spring loaded closed and you press them up in a detent to open the valve. Some engines will have a finger screen and an oil screen or a finger screen and a spin on filter. All finger screens or oil screens utilize a copper crush washer the smooth side of the washer goes towards the turning surface in order to seal the plug or the cap. I'm a licensed aircraft mechanic and have been for 30 years and not one aircraft that I've turned to wrench on or my fellow mechanics that I work with had one fail due to a maintenance related activity. You can generally take a mechanic and make a pilot but you can't take a pilot and make a mechanic. A lot of pilots get their a&p certification after the fact so throughout the year they can save themselves on maintenance cost. They only seek a mechanic with an inspector's authorization to get that sign off on an annual inspection. So sometimes what happens after an annual is anyone's guess

I had a similar problem on my cardinal with the RPM. I fly out of a short strip, so power is kind of important. All of the "experts" kept telling that not reaching max rpm was normal until I reached a higher airspeed. Long story short, they were wrong, the prop governor adjustment screw threaded boss had cracked. I sent it off for overhaul and now I reach 2700 RPM on static. Max RPM on the first part of the takeoff roll makes a huge difference when operating from a short (1730) airstrip. My engine is an O-360, 180 HP. I'm confident that yours should reach max RPM on static runup.

[@ksavage681]

Yeah, he should confer with a few more experts and try to solve that. Maybe it's the model of propeller that is limiting the rpm?

The FAA may have other things to say on the matter, but if the chrome job on the spinner was Sputtered on instead of electroplated, then there was no metallurgical changes to the base metal. Even if it was electroplated, then there shouldn't have been any changes to the base metal. if chroming is banned due to dissimilar metals causing a corrosion cell. then the chrome could simply be ground off and the base metal repolished.

When you was installing the engine and then the governor, I noticed that there is a ring of weld nuts around the governor location of the firewall.

Watching your son under the dash reminds me of me many decades ago. One time in particular was helping my father and his friends doing an annual on a Cessna 180. They had the “kid” crawl through the luggage compartment to feel around for cracks around the rear controls. The mechanic told me yell if if found one. He was surprised when I did. I guess it became a service action (sorry forget the aviation term). To this day pretty much every time I see him he brings it up and tells me that I probably saved the owners life when I found that.

Hello Jimmy, great vid. Quick comment: when in a fully static runup, you shouldn't reach redline rpm, even with a constant speed prop, but 20-40prm lower (but not 150-180 as you are experiencing). Reason is the prop reaches full forward stop. So when the governor fails, less prop angle does not make sense (so it makes thrust when it fails). I sure hope your governor overhaul (or rather new one) wasn't in vain I am not an A&P. Please correct me if you know better or the maintenance manual says esle. I fly a 210. Same same but different

[@nifty1940]

[@buckmurdock2500]

@@jaydee7614 not with constant speed propeller. When unloaded, the blade angle increases to maintain rpm, hence "constant speed prop."

should absolutely reach the redline RPM during a static runup, verified with a strobe tach. Otherwise, you don't achieve full power.

[@CJLeTeff]

[@brianbrotherson5529]

Are you sure it's the governor limiting the RPM? Did you check the mechanical low pitch stops on the prop? Did you get 2700 with it unloaded in flight?

[@gregdrmax]

"we get to take the engine off again". Dude, you are hilarious! Jim Carrey brother. Thx for the smiles!!!

[@pawelwolski1316]

There is a difference between max static and dynamic RPM, even with a constant speed propeller. Typically the max static RPM is set 50 to 100 lower then the red line. On a single engine installation, the prop at the hub, is set for that lower max RPM (via mechanical low pitch stops). This is done so if you have a prop gov failure with the prop "going flat" (loss of oil pressure at the hub), the prop still produces "acceptable" thrust. During my aerobatic days, a friend of my had a prop pitch set too low, lost the gov and could not make it back to the airport. So even if you set the prop gov for lets say 2800 RPM, you will never get it during a static run, since the prop is as flat as it can be. You will however get that 2800 RPM during dynamic or take off run! Now if the prop gov RPM is set lower then that desired static RPM of minus 50-100, cranking up the prop gov RPM will make a difference during static run up. Cycling the prop at 2000 RPM really does not test the "governing" part of the governor, since it is still sitting in a large under-speed condition. Yes the prop drops RPM, oil moves around but that is it. To test the gov you should bring the RPM with the throttle in the middle or lower part of RPM. So lets say 2300 RPM, now slowly back out the prop to 2250 RPM. The prop governor is now in control, you are in the constant speed range. Now you can adjust the throttle by few inches MP, up and down. The RPM should remain constant. Last thing in mind is to make sure you do not increase the MP beyond the recommended RPM/MP as stated in the POH. You can go over-square at these lower power settings, its actually desirable but that is another discussion. So that's the technical part. Your "will it run" videos are fun and since the planes stay on the ground, no harm is done. This flying vid however increases the stakes, it places certain "responsibility" on you to do things "right". Lots of people are watching, mostly not pilots. As a 16,000 hr pilot, instructor and all that, this vid is not sending the right massage. You are too casual about it all.....

New subscriber. I was happy (is that the right word?) to see that I'm not the only engine tinkerer who runs into issues that seem to have no reasonable cause or solution on EVERY SINGLE PROJECT :). Of course, I deal mostly with motorcycles and other small engines so if mine goes bad on a test run, I just get some exercise.
