| Subject: | Re: ECI Pushrod Shroud Retainer- Update |
Well, quite remotely at this point, I needed to replace the springs in
the pushrod as part of this SI! As I mentioned previously I thought I
was not part of the ECI Service Instruction, but it wasn't a few days
after I sent out the response below that I noticed an oil stream on the
belly (I have a no fluid on the belly policy) I traced it back to a
cylinder and started thinking about the Service Instruction, so I took
the plenum off and sure enough there was a leak coming out of the
pushrod. I called ECI and they Fedex'd out the parts needed. I give them
credit for the great customer support with this. I filled out a warranty
form and 3 days later the parts and new gaskets were shipped to me.
Mine were not broken (yet) but the springs were showing wear (118 hours)
and there appeared to be stress cracks developing, hence the loose of
tension to hold the pushrod in place (attached).

I called Eci, good folks! the stock was changed in July 2010. Basically
if
there was a problem one would know rather quickly in the form of a oil
leak.
I explained I had over 100 hours and he suggested that it was quite
remote
at this point to have an issue, which means I probably had the engine
built
with different retainer clips.
If you have had the engine less than 2 years this should not apply to
you.

Not sure if others got this or not, but just one part to
check out if you have used an ECI parts kit at all, or
happen to have an ECI retainer clip from some maintenance.

Just one of those little things...

I purchased an oil door from them approx 10 days ago. I received email confirmation
on the order and a week later, a second email confirmation that the item
shipped. So far, it hasn't arrived but it seems likely that it will. Fingers
crossed. :)
