    I agree with Noel. A static compression test is fine for an automobile, but not an aircraft engine. Rotax wants a differential leak test, and that's what the A&Ps also want to see to help solve your problem. -------- Ira N224XS Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=329332#329332

    Subject: Valve Spring Retainer Tool Loan
    From: "Troy Maynor" <wingnut54@charter.net>
    Hi All, I have a 912S that needs the (new valve spring retainer) SB 912-022 done. There are a couple of different types of tools that are needed to compress the springs to remove the rockers and retainers etc. I was wondering if anyone has these or know where I can rent or borrow them. One style costs $541.00 USD new and not sure of the alternate one that I found on the net. It was a simple bar bolted to the head and a piece that is shaped like the two retainers side by side and can be connected to a 3/8" breaker bar as a lever, the valves being held in place with cord packed into the cylinder through a spark plug hole. Any thoughts or ideas from anyone. Thank you in advance for any help available.

    Differential are fine, and isolate a problem if there is one but dynamic tests, which are what auto test are, is better than doing nothing and will give one a pass or fail real quick. They work fine and are acceptable for a quick test to see if there is a problem or not. I carry one with me because no compressed air is needed in the boonies. I'm an old A&P. More information is better than less.
