The price for Rotax filters is really high. Will the Pure One PL10241 (or any
of the suggested substitutes) clear the exhaust pipe on a 914?
Alternatively, the best price I've found on Rotax is $21.09 at California Power
Systems. Anybody found a better price?

"Rotax" parts are expensive, even their oil filter which I think is made by
WIX. Rotax sent out a directive a few months ago saying that ONLY ROTAX
genuine parts are to be used on their engines. What this means to me is
that if an airplane owner doesnt follow this directive. and there is and
insurance claim on the aircraft, it may not be covered under your insurance
carrier since the manufactuer's specs werent followed.
Just food for thought.

| Subject: | 503 Exhaust Gasket replacement |
Have an exhaust leak and need to replace my exhaust gaskets on my 503. Looks like
I need to order four of the part number 831-842. Any suggestions where to
buy them from? (I'm in Georgia.)
I'll be taking the Rotax 2 stroke class in April with Aero Technical Institute
to learn more about my engine, but want to tackle this job sooner since it's making
quite the mess. From the picture in the CPS catalogue it looks like they
just sit (two a piece) in between the engine and manifold. Anything else to
consider?

You will have to replace the gaskets but there is likely more to it.
Every Rotax 2-stroke I have had has warped the Y manifold after a few
hours of running. The fix is to plane the mating surface of the Y
pipe. My Rotax Service Centre rep told me to take the Y pipe off and
plane on a flat belt sander. Do it once and it should be good for the
life of the engine (manifold). It worked for me every time, no more
leaks. Another issue is when you have the cylinders off for any
reason, you need to make sure they true. The exhaust ports need to be
in plane (in line).

Joe

Rotax filters are made by Champion overseas. Nothing special about it. Many people
use the Pure One PL10241 or the Fram Tough Guard 3614. There are about 8 others.
The Pure One is head and shoulders above the others including Rotax. Using
a different filter is a personal choice. A Pure One and the Fram will not
clear my exhaust header because it is about 1/2" longer than Rotax.
