Subject: over filled oil sump
Hello Listers
Those of you that have attended the Jabiru engine seminar
will remember that
we were told never to overfill the oil sump. Take that
advice.!!
On Sunday I flew from Cincinatti to Boulder CO. I had a
great flight with
my new pitch trim system. But
I have had an oil drip for the last few weeks and was
trying to keep close
track of the level. The oil level is difficult to read,
especially after an
oil change.
on the Jabaru dip stick. At Hays KS I added too much.
Shortly after I took
off the oil temp went to 244deg. I backed off on the power
as much as
possible and the oil tmp came down to 230 or so. I landed
at the first
available field, Wakeene KS which seemed to be abanded on
Sunday. I remove
the cowling and dumped what I estimate to
be a pint of oil. I still couldn't get a good reading
of oil level. I put
the cowling bakck on and took off. The oil temp promptly
went to 136deg and
stayed there until the end
of the flight in Boulder. The outside air temp was between
85 and 90deg at
6500ft and the engine was turning 2850 to 2900 during the
flight. I don't
thind I damaged anything
but it sure told me it didn't like that oil level.
moral of the story: Believe Jabriu. Don't overfill
your oil sump.
