    Subject: Scavenge Problem??
    G'day all! Hope you all are enjoying the Holidays. I have an interesting conundrum with that superior product of Mother Russia, my Yak 52. I changed the oil about a week ago and flew her for 0.5 with no problems. Next flight was 2 days later and after another half hour flight (including aeros) I arrived and found the entire right side of the fuselage covered in oil with oil dripping from the breather. Oil quantity was down to 5 litres. ( quantity before flight was 10 litres) I wiped her down and topped her up to 9 litres and took her out for an engine run. Same thing happened again this time with oil around the front of the engine as well. I thought initially the crankcase maybe pressurising but after a compression test the leak rates are all mid to high 70's. There is no smoke coming from the exhaust and oil pressure is normal at all times. During trouble shooting we noticed that the oil level in the sump was extremely high. About 2.5 litres came out when drained instead of the usual 1litre. Scavenge screen was clear. We have disconnected the scavenge line and blown air through it and can hear bubbling in the tank which I suspect rules out a blockage downsteam of the pump. We have blown air through the pump and oil appears to flow freely forward out to the front of the sump where the scavenge screen resides. The gears of the scavenge pump turn as the prop is turned.I guess the next step is to swap the oil pump and see what happens. I was wondering if anyone might have come across this problem before because we are running out of ideas. Thanks in anticipation. Cheers for now Egon.

    Anybody ever heard of F.U. (Formation University)? Did my first "fighter wing" (might be called extended trail by RPA guys) today. Geeze, what a blast. A YAK-50 was in the lead followed by me in the 52, then a CJ and then another two YAK-50's. Is there some way to market this stuff? Frank

    I'm guessing but it may be a bad anti-drain back valve in the oil pump. Frank

    Subject: Re: Scavenge Problem??
    Are you getting a lot of oil running out of the exhaust stacks? The entire problem could be related to the pressure valve in the oil pump. It is behind the large screw that is used to adjust the oil pressure on the right side of the oil pump. Be sure the spring which pushes against the valve is not disfigured in any way and is not broken.
