Chris,
Details of our friend's dilemma with the Yak 18T....
He detected an hydrualic lock by turning the prop by hand . Did not
force the prop.
Removed plugs from lower cyls and drained oil .
Turned prop 18 blades in direction of rotation.
Ensured that drain manifold was open and manifold had drained.
Replaced bottom plugs.
Primed engine in normal way and initiated a start.
Prop moved and engine fired a couple of cylinders and then the prop
stopped very suddenly.
Got out and could not move the prop at all. Locked solid like something
was seized.
Now this operator is very careful and conciencious as you know. He does
not deserve this.
My only suggestion is to measure the position of the bottom pistons by
inserting a wire through the plug holes and see if a piston has
travelled out of the barrel and the piston has popped a ring out.
Forgot to ask if he removed the bottom plugs after this disaster to see
if oil came out.
He would appreciate any comments and some grief counselling....
Cheers,
Ivor
