Subject: Lightning-List: I was wondering if it was broken.....some news and
a tip!
Was thinking of sending a test note.
All my bits for the Esqual upgrade left Shelbyville today bound for Blighty!
I posted this on the Jabiru owners site after my trip to Norway in a 3300
engined Jabiru 430:
Some info applicable to the earlier Jabiru heads.
I recently changed a set of gaskets as a few were leaking slightly only to
have one blow within 3 flying hours.
Somewhat perplexed whilst investigating I discovered the set screws were
bottoming out in the holes even with the new gaskets so not gripping the
gaskets fully.
Addition of some plane (sorry plain) washers 1.5mm thick solved the problem.
My suggested long term fix would be to use spring washers instead of the
grip washers Jab supply as they are thicker than the thin grip washers..
Mind you I don't think soft iron plan washers will come loose either giving
how well the set screws were held in when I started.
The situation is marginal and the single bolts were the worse as the
manifold plate is thinner on the side with the single bolt hole than where
there are the two side by side.
I think the engine was about # 300, the type with the 3 into one pipe.
Talking with a Jab engine guy he's seen it once before on a similar vintage
engine.
The most annoying part was I was halfway across Belgium at the time and had
to take a day out to get spare gaskets.
I suppose I shouldn't have set off straight after changing the gaskets but
we'd been waiting for a while for the right weather and after a permit
inspection the leaks were found.
Key pictures of the trip attached with GPS track, you'll note the divert
back to Antwerp to return some tools and as a test flight before heading off
on a 3.5 hour leg to Denmark.
That never happened due to a front North of Hamburg so after two nights in
Liege we had another delay, turned back three times before going into
Groningen in Northern Holland.
Last day was a belter, Holland over Germany to Denmark, 35 mins on the
ground, past Copenhagen to Gothenburg in Sweden, 45 mins and then up the
coast of Sweden over the South of Norway in to Stavanger.
The last leg across Norway was a little 'whiter' that I had expected..I
thought it was spring!

Yes, the list has been quite for some time. I just assumed everyone was
enjoying beautiful spring weather and flying a lot. Well that and catching
up on being gone to Sun N Fun. Today I hope to get an oil change done on
the homebuilt, along with a head torque and valve adjustment. Might even
get one done on the Cub as well.
On another subject, I have a request for all of you. The last issue of
the Lightning newsletter (May) pretty much exhausted my Lightning photos and
articles, so if there is going to be an informative June issue, I
desperately need some inputs from you guys. One thing I am working on is an article
on the 40 hour test program that I have been using for some time, so if you
have inputs on that, or any other Lightning related informative "stuff",
now is the time to send it in. I do have a short follow up article by
Johnny on his "explosive" wing preventive mod, so you can look forward to that.
But please send in anything else you want included in the June or July
issues. I assume August will be easy with Oshkosh coverage as the main topic.
Again, please send any input directly to me. If you send it to the list,
I probably will not put it in the newsletter since it will have already
been read by everyone.
Thanks and Blue Skies,
Buz

Buz:
I have a couple of things that I can send you for the newsletter.
- Using Rustoleum to create a nice looking panel
- Electric cabin heat control
I will send you something in the next week or so.
Jim!

Hello Wayne
I haven't been on the site lately. I've been dealing with gas tank
problems. The sealant used in the gas tanks has mostly delaminated.
Needless to say, I haven't been flying either. I'm not happy.
Good to hear from someone.
