Is this true? I cannot find any SB on the FlyRotax website. I am tearing down a 1999 914 with 105hrs TSN. It has Johnson HT-900 (Ford 351 Windsor) lifters fitted. 50% of the lifters are presenting signs of early failure at the lobe contact face. There is no EDM oiler port on these units. Were Johnson lifters ever fitted as OE components on the 9 series engines? I have removed the lifters from another earlier +2000hr 912UL. They do not have any branding laser etched. The lifters also have an EDM pinhole port in the center of the lobe contact face. The lobe contact face on some lifters are just beginning to present troughing. Do genuine Rotax hydraulic lifters still support an EDM oiling port on the base of the hydraulic lifter? Did Rotax supplement the current part number for the hydraulic lifter at any stage? Any factual industry knowledge is appreciated.
