Thought i was doing something simple but apparently not so. I replaced the two seals in the prop "piston" and now have some substantial vibration. Here's the scenario: 1. Replaced two seals in piston (see diagram for orientation of the v-shape of the seals). Note: I did not disassemble the blades or change blade angle in any way. 2. Ran the engine and noticed prop vibration. 3. Disassembled prop piston and found oil in the hub. The seals looked fine so I assumed a pinched seal or I dumped it in when i pulled the piston off? 4. Reassembled, ran engine and same vibration. 5. Disassembled prop piston and found no oil in hub. 6. Reassembled, ran engine and same vibration. The vibration is minimal from 35 to 45%, peaks at 50% and subsides up to 60 and 70%. Mag drops are normal and prop cycles normally at 70%. The vibration at 50% is significant - definately not healthy for any period. On disassembly there appears to be roughly 16 fluid ounces of oil in the prop piston but, again, none in the hub. Any ideas? This one has me baffled. Thanks! Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=59280#59280 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/prop_hub_seals_897.jpg
