Yes, there is, somewhere, a comparison made between two identical Rans
S6, one with a Rotax 912 and one with a Jabiru 2200. The test was made
in England but, unfortunately, I don't have anymore the URL. I tried to
Google a bit but couldn't find it again.
Anyway, the result of the test was that both engines were quite
excellent and giving pretty much the same performance. Maybe the Rotax
had a slight advantage at climb-out, but it was less that I thought it
would be. The thing is: The engine is only one-half of a powerplant;
the propeller is the other. A good match between those is what we want.
Cheers,
Michel

I've been trying to track down a small coolant leak for the past couple of weeks that has me wishing for a Jabiru. I pull the cowling off as soon as I get in the hangar but can't see anything. I come back the next morning and there's a small puddle. Driving me nuts. I'm going to have to sleep under the darn thing to find this leak.

Luis,
I had a coolant leak several years ago and as I don't recall where, but it
was from the rear of the engine near the water pump. I called Rotax and
they recommended BarsLeak. No problem since and it's been several years.

I've been tracking the same thing. Finally found hose that is leaking under the ends. It does not leak until left overnight and then gets worse and worse.
