Maintenance... pulled off upper/lower cowling for inspection on recent five year
rubber change; got to the bottom of remaining oil weeping by resealing #1/3
valve covers and two M6 oil pump retaining bolts... fitted a set of NGK iridium
spark plugs and a 50hr oil/filter change today ahead of fitting wide band O2
sensor to monitor fuel mixtures...

Well done.
Where was the oil falling to? I have a very small oil leak which I've faile
d to trace. What did you use to reseal both locations?
Cheers
James

Hi dmac,
Take a good look at the thread below, I've been there, done that and got the 'T'
shirt!!
The only way I could find the leak in my tank was by cutting the access panels.
Believe me, I tried all ways including water with black food colouring added,
nothing showed where the leak was.

Finished current service session and carried out post quality assurance checks
this morning on the 912... "Amazing" is the word; engine runs on the iridium
spark plugs like its fuel injected now, unbelievably smooth and has got to be
the smoothest 912 i've experienced so far; mag drop check is identical at 50rpm;
startup is instant with zero vibration through entire rpm range right down
to 1100rpm. Wouldn't surprise me if remaining final O2 sensor mixture tuning session
requires no further adjustment. Can't wait to give it a fly tomorrow morning!
Break Break:
James the oil weeping was identified at two of the M6 oil pump bolts; so They were
removed individually and permatex grey applied to the bolt shanks and refitted
and re-torqued. Both valve covers on the right bank were also weeping, so
removed, checked for any screw driver damage to parting lines, degreased both
cover and o'rings with shellite then refitted with a light smear of permatex
grey at the o'rings then refitted M6 bolts and re-torqued. (Note that whenever
using sealants, especially silicon, on oil-side engine components to never apply
excessive amounts as dags have been known to break off and block fine oil
galleries and cause premature component/bearing failure).
