But before I unsubscribe, I wanted to leave some information about oil leak s in prop governors. Just before we sold our Glasair, oil started leaking from the upper mountin g bolt of the governor. (McCauley governor, mounted on the rear of the case of an O-320 Lyc.) I had just rebuilt the engine and had reused the prop governor gasket. So I thought this would be an easy fix - just buy a new governor gasket. That didn't fix it. To make a long story short, the fix is to overhaul the prop governor. It turns out that there's an internal O-ring in the governor, between the m ounting pad and the governor body proper. Here's a link to a photo: ibb.co/CvQNpBZ Our governor had 20 years (and 3000 hours) on it. There is a large O-ring i nside the unit that fits in a tear drop shaped groove in the mounting pad. You can see that ours had hardened and had taken a set. It wasn't sealing. I replaced the O-ring. (A special part. Got to get it from a prop shop.) Bu t in our case, the groove had corroded (you can see it on the right side of the tear drop), which prevented the O-ring from sealing. A replacement governor solved the problem. (I recommend Dan at Redline Prop eller in Akron, CO.) I make this post because, while researching this problem on the web, I foun d a few guys recommending the use of red Loctite on the mounting studs. THAT is NOT the solution to this problem. It might stop the symptom. But it is not curi ng the underlying problem. Hope this helps. Farewell.
