\"\"<\/a>Rotax released an Alert Service Bulletin (ASB) today.\u00a0 This ASB is a mandate to check for proper torquing on the oil pump bolts, in a specified range of engines.
\nLet’s have a look at a few key points:<\/p>\n

Q. How many engines does this ASB affect?
\nA. Well if you purchased your engine in the US, South or Central America’s there will be very few owners affected.\u00a0 According to the distributor, there are only 2 engines in their area that have been affected.\u00a0 One of those was still in storage.\u00a0 If you bought an aircraft from outside this region, please check the ASB.\u00a0 The range of the affected engines is:
\nFor the 912 U – L from S\/N 6,770.461 up to S\/N 6,770.462 inclusive
\nFor the 912 ULS from S\/N 6,778.908 up to S\/N 6,778.932 inclusive\/6,778.934 up to 6,778.958 inclusive\/6,779.478 up to 6,779.502\/6,779.504 up to 6,779.511
\nFor the 914 UL from S\/N 6,774.704 up to S\/N 6,774.733 inclusive\/6,774.861 up to 6,774.869 inclusive.<\/p>\n

Q. What does an owner do if he has an engine in this range?
\nA. This question is easier to answer in point form:
\n1. They must first make sure his engine is registered.\u00a0 Any independent Service Centre (iSC) can help him\/her with this.
\n2. To do this check in the United States, on an Special Light Sport Aircraft (SLSA), an independent Rotax Maintenance Technician (iRMT) with an Light Sport Repairman (LSRM) or\u00a0 Airframe and Powerplant (A&P) certificate is required.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Q. What are the steps involved in the check?
\nA. There are two important parts.\u00a0 The first is the check and the second is what must be done if an under torqued bolt is found.
\n1. All affected engines must have the torque values checked.\u00a0 Please check the bulletin for torque values and procedure.\u00a0 If the values are correct, an entry must be made in the log book and a copy submitted to an iSC. No further action is required.\u00a0 If an iRMT performs this test, an allowance of 1\/2 an hour labour is given, as well as USD$20.00 for the processing.\u00a0 Your iSC will be able to help you with this.
\n2. If the torque value is not correct, there are two options:
\na) If the bolts are loose and NO oil has leaked to the outside, re-torque to the value in the ASB and claim as in point 1.
\nb) If the bolts are loose and it has leaked oil while the engine was running, then the iRMT must follow the procedure as outlined in the ASB and claim accordingly.<\/p>\n

Q. When must the this check be done?
\nA. This check must be done BEFORE NEXT FLIGHT.\u00a0 No ferry permit is allowed.\u00a0 The processing must be done before April 1st, 2012.<\/p>\n

Your iSC is has the staff and knowledge to assist owners if they have any questions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
