Crankase crack
Rotax 912 ULS year 2005, TTSN 530 Hour.
I've found this crack in the upper crankase in cyl 3 area . Any experience ? Any suggestion ? Any possible causes ? Note that 15 hour ago have been replaced all the cylinder (3 and 4) studs due to oil leack at the Cyl 3 top forward base.
The replacement has been done in acordance with the heavy maintenance manual and the new head torque procedure described by the new SI-912-025 Cylinder Head Torque Procedure.
Can this studs replacement be related to the crankase crack ? Note also that the engine has been flown in a hight outside temperature 37 - 39 degree Celsius but with the operating indicated temperature within the limits.
Lookig forward to hear from you
All the best
