--> Stratus-List message posted by: rueffy@jetthrust.com
The following was posted on Airsoob a couple of days ago. I wanted to repost it
here for all our interest since many of us are running the EA81. I haven't
heard of this happening before - has anybody else?
What do you think of the fix?

Last week I had the oil seal, on the water pump end of the engine,
of my EA81 slip inside of the engine. It took about 3 or 4 minutes
to lose all the oil. Luckily I was on floats and was able to make
it back on the water just as the oil pressure dropped to zero. This
seal is a press fit in the crankcase, there is no lip on the
inside of the case to keep this from happening. I know of one other
EA 81 that had this same thing happen. Anyone else had this
problem? Is there a fix? I installed the new seal with Permatex
high strength sleeve retainer. Any ideas or help would be
appreciated.
