Jabru Engine TBO times
Hi,
I service Jabiru engines in Grafton, We have a J-170 that is due for its 800hrly tomorrow. It still runs smoothly and performs very well. though at about this time you can feel that there can sometimes be differences in cyl compressions, (felt by rotating propeller a number of times to feel each cylinder compression stroke) it is not unreasonable to expect the 2200 engine to reach the 1000hr mark without too much trouble. One of the biggest determining factors is how cool or hot your engine runs. excessive heat or inadequate cooling is a killer for these engines. Keep them running cool and run them hard regular maintenance and take particular attention to cylinder head tensions especially the head stud beween the intake and exhaust manifolds. I hope that this little thread is encouraging to you.
Cheers,
Peter
