    • @RotacRepair
      @RotacRepair 12 дней назад

      Thank you for the comment. You are correct, exactly 15 ml or 1 tablespoon of rotary valve oil will remain on the exhaust side of the chamber as there is a short divider in the bottom of the chamber. I guess the engine could be detached from its mounting or the airframe tilted towards the exhaust side to allow that tablespoon of oil to drain completely out. I believe the remaining 15 ml is approximately 5% of the total refill capacity.

    Hello , I am watching your video on 10 percent ethanol gasoline . The E10 sample you show here is clear , is this regular grade ? I operate an ATV / UTV service shop and constantly deal with bad gas . I advise all customers to use only High test gas in the hope that it is ethanol free which it may or may not be . Here in NS regular is yellow and high test is clear which tells you nothing about the ethanol content but tells me what grade customers have been using . If I find yellow gas it is guarantied to have 10 percent ethanol and the clear hopefully pure ???????

    • @RotacRepair
      @RotacRepair 29 дней назад

      Hi Kieth, the clear sample was E10 87 octane and the other yellow sample was neat 91 octane. This was interesting, I just purchased 50 litres of E10 87 that had no ethanol content. I was surprised, tested it twice and still got 0 % ethanol. First time that ever happened. I test every fuel purchase for ethanol %. The food coloring drop in a fuel sample is the fastest way to find out if it’s neat or E10.

  • @1200Flying
    @1200Flying 2 месяца назад

    The only caveat I would provide is that to do the repair you are actually removing material. Depending on how badly the cylinder head has been cross threaded, isn’t it possible that the repair could result in the plug not being able to be torqued properly? I had a repair done on my 503 by a technician for the same reason and even though I could torque the plug it came out in flight. I ended up replacing the cylinder head.

    • @RotacRepair
      @RotacRepair Месяц назад

      It actually removes very very little material, it’s more of a realignment of the threads. Torques up perfectly. No issues at all. I do know that if any type of thread replacement sleeve is installed it absolutely will fail and the spark plug will fly out.

  • @SuperMurrayb
    @SuperMurrayb 2 месяца назад

    Thanks for the warning. Ethanol does dissolve many plastics but that is not the only problem with fuel that contains ethanol. Ethanol will absorb water from the air and form an ethanol-water solution. If that is exposed to the air it will absorb acetobacter which will convert the ethanol into ethanoic acid. That acid will then react with most common metals like aluminum to form salts. This causes pitting and will leave small crystals where the metal used to be. One way to prevent problems is to drain the fuel completely after every use. The other alternative is to remove the ethanol. If the fuel is agitated with water the ethanol will move into the water. IF the water is then decanted the remaining fuel will be ethanol-free. There is no simple solution to this problem as long as goverments continue to mandate ethanol in the fuel.

It would make more sense to give people the option to buy ethanol-free fuel if that is what they want to use.

    Great video John. I have the same tank. Looked good when I got the plane in 2022. Only ran Esso 94 or 91, which then was still ethanol free. By 2023 the ability to find the ethanol free gas was getting harder, and by the end of 2023, I do not think anyone was advertising ethanol free in Ontario, but some may differ. Our local station uses Esso 91, I tested it, and it definately has ethanol. My filler tube had an issue last fall, collapsed on itself. After several attempts to fix I finally Sealed (sealall) it to the filler hose, (which originally was just radiator hose) which was gas rated. Have not had a problem with that since. As for the tank, I do not remember discolouration when I got the bird, but now it has a mottled appearance. I will see if I can find some pics from 2022. I have not noticed a problem with discolouration in the gas, or the filter, but I pulled most of the gas out when it did not fly for a few months. As for carbon buildup, when I pulled the engine for its 150 hour, the piston tops were black, the lower rings locked in solid with carbon, and the upper rings half locked. I wrote that off to 1/ its first 40 hours it ran rich due to the carb needles put on top of the white plastic slide (before I bought it). 2/ my last 1.5 hours running were tethered trying to sort a charging issue with most of that time running at 3k rpm. Perhaps the resin in the fuel was a contributor. We tore the engine down to the crank, and notice no other issues as you described, nothing of note on the piston sides below the rings, and no resin building on the crank or anywhere else. I had ordered a tank in the fall when I had the issue with the neck, but it never did get shipped, and I didnt push it as the replacement likely meant moving the fill point and other hassles. Flying "on condition" keeping an eye on it. Also considering switching to wing tanks. Great video again.

      100LL is far more octane than a 503-582 requires, however when I’m on a trip I have occasionally used 100LL. Its very expensive compared to car gas, it kills the spark plugs in 25 hours and dirties up the inside of the engine. On the plus side your fuel tank won’t melt.

      If the crankcase sealing surface has been damaged by abrasive cleaning it’s pretty much scrap. While the low areas may initially seal at assembly, there’s a good chance that the unsupported sealer areas could blow out. Then the resulting lean mixture could be fail the engine. The crankshaft bearing crush may also be affected. I wouldn’t risk it, cheaper in the long run not to use a crankcase with damaged sealing surfaces.
