Sorry for my bad behaviour, my original massage was refused, probably
because I inserted 2 pictures. Now without pictures:
My Jab was running for some minutes to go from the parking area to the
hold point. There I switched it off and some minutes later made it run
again.
It was all different, strange noise, no power, as working with only 3
cylinders.. The faulty element was the exhaust valve pushrod cylinder 3
coming up beside the rocker. So the exhaust valve remained closed.
Tappet clearance was OK, checked 5 hour before this event, after the
event lock nut and screw still tight in place. Valve spring OK, not
broken. Pushrod is slightly flexed, less then 0,02", probably due to the
fact to be squeezed between wall and rocker arm. The motor, solid valve
lifter type has 300hours. Do you have any idea what I have to do, to
replace to avoid this event in the future? Thank you for help

The problem with putting "do not archive" in the signature (profile) is that it
is there for all messages you post that are not already archived. So if your
intention is to delete the "do not archive" from your signature for a single post
only, it will also delete it after the fact for all those not yet archived.
To prevent this all you have to do is develop the new habit of adding do not archive
manually for every message except those you deem worth saving for posterity.
Not hard to do but it requires a willingness to type 12 characters plus 2
spaces, every message you post.

I don't understand, Thom....when I make up my signature block, like I
show below, it already has "do not archive" in it. If I decide that
my comments are worthy of saving to archives, I just delete the "do
not archive" line from the signature (after it appears on my post,
but before it is sent), as shown further down. Why shouldn't this
work? This keeps the signature block intact (with the "do not
archive" line) for the next missive, but allows archiving of the one
that I deleted the line from. At least that's the way it works on my
Mac.

| Subject: | Propeller decision. |
I've been asking folks on the YahooJabiru group about ground-
adjustable props, and came to a decision of sorts. Because some
Jabiru owners don't go there, I thought I'd share some figures with
this group, and maybe get some interest going about props, etc.
Here's the post that I made at Yahoo Jabiru:
*************************
Thanks to all who offered suggestions regarding the ground adjustable
prop. After reading and digesting the comments, and flying a couple
of times with my chopped-down 55.5" x 46" wood prop, I think I've
concluded that if I could match the performance of this bastardized
prop with a fixed pitch prop of a normal shape (after cutting, the
ends of my blades are blunt...no rounding-off was done), I'd go with
it. What I mean is, if I could get Sensenich to use the numbers that
seem to give me good performance....the 55.5" x 46"....and make a
prop of say, 62" x 40 or 42", I'd do it. I'll call them and see
what they suggest. This might be a good time to visit the Prince prop
factory, as they are within 100 miles. I just don't like the 16-week
wait, or the 16-days wait at 50% more money. : (
The ground adjustable thing seems to be an area with problems, as far
as the present is concerned, so I think I'll stay away from them.
Here's the comparison between the 62x46 and the 55.5x46.....with the
62, I get about 2810-2840 rpm climbout (@ about 6.4 gph fuel flow),
and the 55.5 gives me 3000-3040 rpm, using 7.0 gph fuel flow.
According to the fuel use, the higher rpm's are giving me more
horsepower during climbout. I checked this morning, and my speed at
WOT straight and level, going nearly across the wind (northbound) was
101 mph at 3210 rpm, and 123 mph at 3240 rpm going southbound. The
wind was reported at 3000' to be 281 @ 29 kts. So the shorter prop
gives me the desired rpm's, but that's not the way to do it,
according to the theories that I've read and heard.
I only flew for a little while, but during that time, the fuel usage
was comparable to what I've been seeing....around 2.9 to 3.2 gph
(running lean of peak EGT), but the rpm was higher. I saw no change
in EGT's as a result of letting the rpm wind up a bit.
**************************
The reason for wanting a different prop came about after I flew into
a moderately hard rain and it etched/blasted the leading edge of my
prop pretty badly.

Lynn,
Maybe I'm mistaken or we are talking about two different things. The thing I'm
talking about, the signature field you edit under PROFILE at the top of the Matronics
Email Lists page, automatically updates whatever is in your signature
field in all posts you made recently BEFORE it is archived.
I just tested it by changing the quote at the end of my signature, and the old
quote in the earlier message I posted this morning now reflects the new quote
I just changed it to. In other words the signature is dynamic until it is archived.
Make a change in your signature, save the change, and then go back and look at
the earlier messages you posted today. The new change will be there.
If you have a text file with your "signature" outside of the profile that you can
copy and paste into each message, then that is a different thing entirely.
I hope this clarifies it a bit, but maybe not.

Yup, Thom, we were talking about two different things....I don't use
the profile or any other Matronics gadgets. I get all the Matronics
info...the day-to-day postings by people...via email, and the
signature that is added to my postings/replies is one that I created
right here on my Mac via my mail system's "Preferences" under
"signatures".
In fact, I don't even need to copy and paste my signature. Whenever
I go to start a new message, or reply to anything, the signature is
already there at the bottom before I even begin to type. All I have
to do is to decide how much of the signature info I want to go out.
If it's an email to a friend outside of the Matronics or Yahoo
forums, I just delete everything except the "Lynn"

Lynn,
That explains it alright. I never thought about using my iMac mail or Gmail signature
instead of Matronics profile signature.

Fritz,
The valve had to stick open for the push rod to come off the rocker arm.Y
ou really should pull that head and check the guide and valve stem and the
spring.The valve spring keeps everything in place.If the valve does not
return fully to the seat,the rocker arm will allow the push rod to fall
out of contact .
