    All good points, but the biggest mistake Jabiru made was foisting the engine onto an unsuspecting market when it hadn't received adequate testing. Can you imagine what their reputation would be like if it had powered a motor car or motorcycle ?

    I'm guessing that their reputation would be in the dumpster, due to the greater number of people who would have bought one (motorcycle or car/truck) and ended up along the edge of the road.

    Hi Pete, That's a fair comment, except that a lot more engineering and research went into the LC heads than ever went into the original aircooled heads, or since ..... But I don't wish to get into a slanging match. I just wish that Jab will get to the point that it lives up to its promise, Cheers Marty On Wed, Feb 22, 2012 at 8:12 AM, Pete Krotje <pete@usjabiru.com> wrote: > Sort of like foisting water cooled heads unto an unsuspecting public and > assuring that they will go to TBO when there is no evidence to support th at. > **** > > ** ** > > Pete**** > > ** ** > > *From:* owner-jabiruengine-list-server@matronics.com [mailto: > owner-jabiruengine-list-server@matronics.com] *On Behalf Of *Martin Hone > *Sent:* Tuesday, February 21, 2012 2:34 PM > *To:* jabiruengine-list@matronics.com > *Subject:* Re: JabiruEngine-List: Hydraulic or solid....**** > > ** ** > > All good points, but the biggest mistake Jabiru made was foisting the > engine onto an unsuspecting market when it hadn't received adequate > testing.

    Subject: Hydraulic or solid....
    We have been installing the 3300s in our Lightning Design now since 2006. The first aircraft had solid lifter engines, all since the introduction of the hydraulic lifter have been fitted with that. Many aircraft have several hundred hours on them with out exhibiting these problems being discussed. Even a few nearing 1000hours. We have not seen increased oil temperatures, or oil consumption, or lack of horsepower. The aircraft flying today are swinging more aggressive props than we ever have, and still pulling the RPM that Jabiru requires. If the engine were lacking in power or torque I would think that a less aggressive prop would be needed, or at least less REVS noted in given configurations, that is just not that case. Jabiru USA has a very nice service center. Recently a 4 cylinder hydraulic lifter engine came in for the 1000 hour top end. No prior work has been done to the engine. If the valves are not opening and closing as they should you would expect to see this in the combustion chamber right? Again not the case for this engine, certainly not a babied one at that, it came out of a flight school. Now of course it was on a Jabiru airplane that has a proper cowling design. The engine is turning the correct prop to get the correct REVS, which in turn keeps the engine from lugging along and stressing it. I guess what I see are improper installation and operation on a regular basis that in turn causes problems for the engine. Either cowl design and overheating, prop load from the guy wanting is plane to go faster than it really can, or expecting an internal combusting engine to do something special with the fuel you give it. If you over prop the engine or let it run rich for many hours you cause a lot of problems with the valve train and combusting chambers. The opposite is true when you get that great fuel economy you might boast about. I don=99t speak from hear say or theories on what I think should happen. This is from many years of experience with the engine, operation, rebuilds, and general maintenance. Many of the junk parts we collect are attributed to one of the above mentioned problems. IF you dig into what happened you usually will get the rest of the story and find it was not in-fact the engines fault by design but the end user. Just my experiences with a wide variety of Jabiru Installations, Proper and otherwise.

    Great report Nick. Thanks for posting. It is good to see that it is not all 'doom and gloom.' Nevertheless, there is far too many factory-built, and kit-built to factory spec., aircraft that are having issues that aren't due to too rich mixture or over-propping.

    I have been on this site from the start, and have to laugh at all the piss and moaning about the Jabiru engines. I have a 2200 4 cyl. jab (bought in 1995) in my Kitfox and a 3300 6 cyl. in my Lightning. The only thing wrong with either one is you have to change the oil every 25 or 35 hours. I have helped 6 owners in my area that had problems with the Jabiru and each was due to improper installation. If you want problems just read each issue of sport aviation about other engines. Everybody I talk to call the sport aviation magazine the "monthly rotax service bulletin". PS. The one problem with the 3300 in my Lightning is that its to dam fast.

Great report Nick. Thanks for posting. It is good to see that it is not all 'doom and gloom.' Nevertheless, there is far too many factory-built, and kit-built to factory spec., aircraft that are having issues that aren't due to too rich mixture or over-propping.

The first aircraft had solid lifter engines, all since the introduction of the hydraulic lifter have been fitted with that. Many aircraft have several hundred hours on them with out exhibiting these problems being discussed. Even a few nearing 1000hours. We have not seen increased oil temperatures, or oil consumption, or lack of horsepower. The aircraft flying today are swinging more aggressive props than we ever have, and still pulling the RPM that Jabiru requires. If the engine were lacking in power or torque I would think that a less aggressive prop would be needed, or at least less REVS noted in given configurations, that is just not that case. Jabiru USA has a very nice service center. Recently a 4 cylinder hydraulic lifter engine came in for the 1000 hour top end. No prior work has been done to the engine. If the valves are not opening and closing as they should you would expect to see this in the combustion chamber right? Again not the case for this engine, certainly not a babied one at that, it came out of a flight school. Now of course it was on a Jabiru airplane that has a proper cowling design. The engine is turning the correct prop to get the correct REVS, which in turn keeps the engine from lugging along and stressing it. I guess what I see are improper installation and operation on a regular basis that in turn causes problems for the engine. Either cowl design and overheating, prop load from the guy wanting is plane to go faster than it really can, or expecting an internal combusting engine to do something special with the fuel you give it. If you over prop the engine or let it run rich for many hours you cause a lot of problems with the valve train and combusting chambers. The opposite is true when you get that great fuel economy you might boast about. I don=99t speak from hear say or theories on what I think should happen. This is from many years of experience with the engine, operation, rebuilds, and general maintenance. Many of the junk parts we collect are attributed to one of the above mentioned problems. IF you dig into what happened you usually will get the rest of the story and find it was not in-fact the engines fault by design but the end user. Just my experiences with a wide variety of Jabiru Installations, Proper and otherwise.

Even at lower revs a hydraulically operated valve suffers from a =9Csoft and soggy=9D opening operation. By replacing this with a positive mechanical lift, a more precise motion is achieved. This leads to a faster change in manifold vacuum, greater gas speed and ...more power! 3 - Predictable Operation. Hydraulic lifters are subjected to large and frequent variations in oil pressure and temperature. Solid lifters are a known quantity that simplify valve operation and remove such variables. 4 - Weight and friction reduction. A solid lifter is 10% lighter than it's hydraulic counterpart, and given the overall weight of CVH valve train, this is an important bonus. Any loss of weight in this area will help with engine efficiency and life expectancy. Also, a hydraulic lifter exerts a constant pressure to the total circumference of each lobe base circle resulting in a certain amount of drag. A solid lifter does not contact the camshaft base circle, so internal friction is reduced.

    Subject: Re: Hydraulic or solid....
    One of the issues of aviation that some folks have trouble understanding is the sheer differences in the production volumes between automotive and aviation. Auto engines are tested in volume and built in the millions. And they still have bad models, many of which are simply abandoned. The same is true for motorcycles. Adequate testing? Even the Lycoming and Continental engines which were basically designed in the 1930's continue to have problems. One of the clues should be the hand-made, CNC machined, composition of the Jab. Not even designed to be mass-produced. The market for anything aviation is frightfully small compared to cars and motorcycles. It will be interesting to see how some of the newcomers to the small plane market fare considering the increased complexity of fuel injection, electronic ignition, liquid cooling, etc. Thankfully Jabiru has been very wise in not jumping to improve the engine by adding complexity and cost. I have had both the solid lifter and hydraulic lifter 2200's. Adjusting the valves was a nuisance. Anyone who has torn down engines in some variety will recognize just how good the design of the Jab is. Frankly, even if you have to overhaul the heads every 500 hours, it is still a bargain.
