| Subject: | new crankshat distortion inspection |
In www.rotax-owner.com it is shown a new type of inspection (crankshaft distortion measure). It must be used in a prop strike in an 91X engine with no overload clutch (in addition of usual crank run out measurement) or after over running the engine itself.
In the past i heard some rumors of the fragility of the rotax 912 multi-pieces
crankshaft. This information seems to confirm that Rotax , not using a monolithic
crankshaft , exposes users to not due damages (in 2011 automotive industry
crankshafts are practically fool proof)
In addition the price to replace the crankshaft is abnormally high (a whole replacement
engine for a luxury Mercedes Benz / Bmw car costs less!).
In my humble opinion Rotax price policy for crankshaft repair must be changed in
accordance of their not optimal design.
