Well I took the magnetic Plug out and oil started pouring out all over everything. Naturally I have some questions; Should I have expected oil to come out? Did I remove the wrong plug? Is the engine routed the correct way? I have over 40 hours and things seem to be fine, I expected to see metal shavings on the magnetic plug but when the oil started pouring out I quickly put it back in. ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 03:21:34 PM PST US From: "Gilles.Thesee" Subject: Re: RotaxEngines-List: Rotax 912 Magnetic Plug SB --> RotaxEngines-List message posted by: "Gilles.Thesee" David Key a crit : > --> RotaxEngines-List message posted by: "David Key" > > I was minding my own business trying to comply with the Rotax Alert > Service Bulletins ASB-912-051 / ASB-914-034 .

Is the engine routed the correct way? David, Yes some oil came out when I removed the plug,. But I had time to examine it, and asked my buddy to cover the hole with his thumb while I was cleaning it !

This works, but it still may drip a little.

I'm changing my oil this week and I'll do it once most of the oil is drained out. >From: Jack Kuehn >To: >Subject: Re: RotaxEngines-List: Rotax 912 Magnetic Plug SB >Date: Tue, 31 Oct 2006 16:37:01 -0700 (MST) > >--> RotaxEngines-List message posted by: Jack Kuehn > > >I spoke with the guys at Lockwood about this and they said they check the >plug at every other oil change, when the oil is all drained out.
