Subject: loss of oil.
Has anyone experienced the loss of oil at the oil cooler adaptor housing
O ring? I'm new to flying with a Jabiru engine. My Indus Thorepedo has
only 30 hours on a 2200 engine. I experienced a loss of oil due to a
faulty or undersized O ring on the oil cooler adapter. In addition I am
a little concerned about how the whole oil filter assembly is attached
to the engine block. It seems to me that the entire assembly is
dependent on twisting the oil filter in place. It appears that the force
of the torque on the filter carries through the oil cooler adaptor. It
is the compressed O ring face against the block that holds the oil
cooler adaptor assembly in place. When the leak became evident it was
possible to hand twist the oil cooler adaptor about a 1/8 of a turn at
the engine block. Jabiru just sent me a replacement adaptor to be
installed and needless to say I'll be checking the attachment during
preflights and keeping a close watch on the gages in flight.
