Interesting question.  Give the tech guys a call at Lockwood Aviation. I'm 
sure they can tell you

dcsfoto,

It is my belief that during an overhaul they do all the upgrades that 
will lengthen the next recommended TBO. But, you should ask the Rotax 
repair station, you intend to use, that question.

By the way, last week I contacted Aero Propulsion Technologies in 
Canada about the current cost of a 912 overhaul, not because ours is 
due, but to allocate enough money to do the overhaul when it is needed. 
Their current price for a 912UL overhaul is about US$8,100.

If you ask around, please let us all know who quotes you how much and 
the answer to the  TBO question.

Subject: RotaxEngines-List: Wandering RPM

REF:

I've got a 582 that likes to wander +/- 100-200 RPM when cruising at 
5800. 
(Actually, pretty much anytime.) It appears to be more than just prop 
loading, as I have to chase it with the throttle, and not just the 
elevator. Any ideas?

Guy,

    How old are your crank seals?  They'll do funny things when just 
starting to leak.  Email Green Sky or Lockwood and ask their advise.
