I had similar comments about my Jab, subjectively quieter than the Rotax 912 and Lycoming engines. I can understand it being quieter than the Rotax engines, which are geared and run at higher rpm, but

That’s what I was thinking, John (the bad rod connection, not the quiet…although your old engine went very quiet at the end..) Jay

Forgot to mention... The pilots at my airport say that this warranty replacement engine runs much quieter that the one that died. Also my Jabiru is the quietest engine on the field. Don't know what to

WOW! I need to proof read my messages better. Where is the edit function? John M

Have not had an issue with the coupler hoses on the 4 2200s I've owned. John M

I’d want confirmation that those cap screws are the correct spec. Mick

I’ve ordered a length 32mm ID silicone hose suitable for fuel & oil. Mick

Bob, I am using X series Nordloks with 12.9 spec cap screws as per Jabiru instructions . Mick

Hi Bob, Keep in mind that the Belleville washer is a spring with a spring constant that is likely much lower than the spring constant of the bolt itself. Since this is the case, the Belleville

Hi Mick, this doesn't answer your question either, but are your Nordlocs X type? if not for a given torque the HIGHER the tensile rating of the bolts, the SOONER your flywheel will fall off. If you

They are the ones ! Mick

I have a box with about 80 pieces left of 5/16-24 UNF x2" 1960 series unbrako socket head cap screws. ASME B18.3, ASTM A574. I cut them to length for my needs. I am in Canada and i am willing to

Clive, Spot on ! All I asked was, if fitting the spreader plate/washer and Nordloks mod, was it OK to have a cap head screw with a shank and whether it was OK to have a longer thread into the crank

Re-living the flywheel bolts discussion again.....the forum is a like a roundabout..... ;-))

FWIW I have installed ARP 12 points with Nordlock X series washers. No interference between nordlocks ( close though) or ARP bolt heads. I’m not a Mech Eng. but the the equal pressure ( compression)
