The automotive industry has produced a die that is added to the oil. Comes in one ounce bottles for about $5 per bottle. I would suggest three bottles. The oil die shows up under ultraviolet light. Start the engine, let it run for a while, and after shutdown follow the track to the source with your 60's black light. Washing the engine first is always nice, but not necessary.

They seem to wear on the screw head end and will eventually wear into. I had to have some made, and have extras. They are made from high quality treated stainless steel and will last for a long time. They are $17.62 each. Also, does anyone have the shorter screws at the base of the shutters?

I have done a compression check and looked for the obvious leaks. The engine is leaking a little and I've tried to isolate the leak/s. Today I put two bottles oil dye in the tank and ran the engine for a total of 20 minutes at various power settings, as high as 80%. Even with the hangars doors closed in total darkness I couldn't see any dye with the black light. I read here recently that someone cured there oil consumption problem after finding a leaking cylinder base gasket. My base gaskets seem to be fine so I'm still trying to resolve the excessive consumption. Any other thoughts? Thanks, Steve Yak 55 **************It's Tax Time!

From: "CJcanuck" I would love to be there, but the rostering God's have dealt me a loosing hand in May and so I'll be spending 3 fun-filled days in Anchorage on a work trip. On the plus side, AK is a great place for aircraft watching and parts shopping. (Where else can you see a DC-6, Beaver on floats and F-22 all in the air at one time outside of Oshkosh?) My fingers and toes are crossed for Bandits.. plus a bottle of Scotch here and there in scheduling just to grease the wheels...;) Later!

I'm trying to track down a pair of Trim Tab spindles (Part#HB1-703G), the AN replacement from Aircraft Spruce didn't quite do the trick. I'd also like to replace all the screws with stainless as the ones I'm currently 'blessed' with are all in pretty bad shape. Last, I'm also missing one of the brass screws on the cover for the magnetic heading sensor. Any help sourcing these bits would be greatly appreciated.
