Mikal,
I put the Matronics Stratus list on copy here too.
I have a year 2000 Stratus EA-81 (single belt, dual ignition). It's
been an outstanding engine, I've been flying it in my Pelican since 2003.
But, this is the fourth time that oil starts weeping from the drive. It
starts with a drop or two, then slowly gets worse. It seems to be the
main seal since after I replace it, it's clean (for a while). There is
a groove worn in the aluminum bushing/spacer that the seal rides on. I
replaced the seal, then moved the seal out 1/8" to get a new spot to
seal on, and then tried a stainless steel slip-over seal surface.
It seems a good fix might be to make a hardened steel spacer but it's
expensive to make just one. Have you come up with a fix? Is there
anything that I can do?
