I looked at the link I received from John W, and the sensor I am referring to is located next to the oil pressure sensor, and it is plugged with a bolt # 36 in the manual drawing. The sensor I have, has two contacts and a little larger than the oil temp sensor,(which BTW I now know where it is). If anyone can tell me what this sensor is for, I would appreciate it. If it is something I could do without, I will just plug the hole with a bolt. Best regards, Johann G.

I am using foam weather stripping around the doors. Does anyone have a suggestion for a better method of weather stripping the doors? I found when I installed thin weather stripping on the bottom access door, some of the oil canning at low speeds disappeared.

I installed with a Y paralel with the oil prsssure sender. Saludos Gary Gower.

Until anyone suggests something else, we will assume this is the oil pressure sensitive on/off. Thank you very much for your advise. Best regards, Johann G. Iceland.

Rotax started fishing for solution to air in the oil galleys about a year ago. What was finally found (and presented at Oshkosh) is that the oil companies changed the formulation of the recommended oils, and the inverse crankcase pressure system, used to return the oil to the tank, would foam the oil to the point that a lot of air was pulled into the normally pressurized side of the system. The excessive amount of air allows the lifters to collapse, and then you get bent pushrods and a general lack of lubrication. Rotax released new specifics as to oil brands and their usage with autogas and avgas. They recommend only draining the oil tank at oil change and not worry about the small amount left in the oil cooler and related oil lines. *****I'm hoping that those that are flying behind a 912/914 Rotax engine (or are planning to) have heard about this already, but just in case (and since I don't remember this coming up on this list before), you might want to look at the revised AD they're planning to issue. This is particularly important if you bought your engine (and have it sitting in a crate) prior to 2002-21-16 being complied with. Anyway, take a look at: http://www.regulations.gov/fredpdfs/04-18440.pdf ________________________________ Message 8 _____________________________________ Time: 04:11:31 PM PST US From: "Bill Morelli" Subject: Re: Zenith-List: 601 POH --> Zenith-List message posted by: "Bill Morelli" During your test flying, you are supposed to generate all of the POH numbers based on your testing. Your numbers may or may not agree with what the factory says you should get. All of the numbers in my POH were generated by me during my 40 hour test period.

Have any 601 builders tried these? Is there enough room left to right? For the 801 guys, what are you doing on the engine side? What does the finished product look like?
