(dhmoose) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 08:09:13 AM PST US From: "Pascal" Subject: Re: RV10-List: 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). -----Original Message----- From: Pascal Sent: Wednesday, November 28, 2012 1:11 PM Subject: Re: RV10-List: ECI Pushrod Shroud Retainer 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. -----Original Message----- From: Tim Olson Sent: Wednesday, November 28, 2012 12:36 PM Subject: RV10-List: ECI Pushrod Shroud Retainer 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. http://eci.aero/pdf/12-1.pdf Just one of those little things...

From: "dhmoose" 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. :) David -------- David Halmos RV-10 Finishing Kit...far from finished!
