Jose,

I would seal off the large holes on the inside of the cooling ducts. These appear to be about 1-1.5 inches.

If you have tighten all of the adjusters to 24 ft/lb then you should replace all of the adjustment studs and nuts to avoid in flight failure. IMHO

Jeff,

When you need the cabin heat, the oil will not be hot enough to do you any good with the OC on line. I cut off the air to my oil cooler in the winter. Stick with the standard heat muff on t ...

Chris,

Not sure what number you tried but the number for Jabiru Pacific is 559-431-1701. Jim will help you out.

Jeff,

Step back, take a deep breath and look on the bright side of the 601 saga. There seem to be some weakness in the design that will be resolved in short order and you are alive and able to con ...

Michael,

I posted the proper tool numbers for both Snap On and Proto a couple of days ago. As you found out the crows foot is NOT the right tool.

Paul

The torque adaptor is Proto J 5114 or if you want to pay more Snap On FRDH 141 that is used to torque the cylinder base nut.

Michael,

It is a simple job but it does require a special wrench to torq up the cylinder which you can buy from Proto for 5 or so bucks. Talk to Pete first, sounds like it may be warranty work.

It is an easy job to pull the head but check the rocker arm first, that will tell you if it is the valve set as Peter and I suspect.

Chris,

Take a look at the things Pete has posted on the Jabiru USA site. I think that AeroShell 15-50 is a big help if you still have 50 wt oil in it. I had to jump mine yesterday morning when i ...

Baldwin B33 Best choice IMHO
NAPA 1394
Bosch 3311

Michael,

If you have the old style of exhaust with the gaskets at the head these will be likely suspects. An easy way to check for manifold leaks is to spray carb cleaner at all connects and joint ...

I did the original tuning change 2004 and drilled out the jet. It works fine.

3300 #278

You are right Lynn it should have been 2900 RPM. The Q-2 is slippery but not that slippery. Embarassed

Should have been 1025-1125 not 1025-1025.

Ivan,

Not sure if I am the Paul you posted to but, I have been using the original economy tuning since it came out. To be honest I will have to take another look to give you a good answer but my ...

Ivan,

500-5 and 5.00-5 should be the same tire. The 500 or 5.00 is 5 inches thru the widest part of the sidewall, where the sidewall bulges. You will hear the tire refered to as a five hundred by ...

I am seeing 1375 F at peak which happens at about 2750. I usually climbout at about 3000 RPM with the EGT at 1325 F. Climbout is from 5300 FT most of the time. I do most of my flying between 10 and ...

I am happy with the Bing. 3300 first economy tuning works fine. I thought that I would try it and change to something else if I did not like it but 400 hrs later I'm still happy.

I purchased an automotive charging cable that I plan to use to hard wire my 296 to my plane. When I opened the cigarette lighter end there was a small, square ceramic in series with the positive lea ...
