oil leak

in 912 / 914 Technical Questions 8 years ago

  • Re: oil leak

    by » 8 years ago

    I have seen, on an 80 hp 912UL, where the engine was lugged (as I described) and this caused oil leakage at the head to cylinder joint as well as the cylinder to case joint due to excessive cylinder pressure.

    Running too much pitch in the prop can cause this. This is why Rotax recommends 5200 or more rpm on takeoff.
