 Posted: Wed Apr 28, 2010 8:50 am Post subject: 912 "cylinder type" |
 |
|
I had my engine oil analyzed by Aviation Laboratories. They came back and said they can’t tell if everything is normal until they know what “cylinder type” is in my 912ULS.
I don’t know what “cylinder type” comes in a 912ULS and didn’t know different cylinder types were available. Can someone clue me in here?
Thanks,
Les

Sounds like they're not used to dealing with the 912. What they probably see is an elevated iron level from the gear box and they're thinking in terms of the iron cylinders of a Lycosaur.The 912 uses a process that deposits a hard coating (Nikasil) on an aluminum cylinder. I doesn't wear a lot, or shouldn't at least.

Les, I think what they need to know is if the engine cylinder walls are ordinary steel, ceramic, stainless lined, ect.
For the Rotax Engine 912 series the cylinder is steel.

Hugh, The cylinders of the 912 are most definitely NOT steel. See the heavy maintenance manual if you don't believe me.

The Rotax cylinders are a nickel silicone combination “called Gilnasil” its a process that is done by many companies.... all based on a matrix of nickel with small particles of silicon-carbide.
