The rocker chamber vent Service Bulletin does not apply to solid lifter engines.

Marco - you don't say what fuel you are using. I just had sooty black spark plugs with RPM drop at mag check after running unleaded petrol/mogas for maybe the last 13 hours. Spark plugs about 83 hours use, first 70 on avgas. I'm going back to avgas use only with (570 hours satisfaction.)

That bleed hole thing has nothing to do with this engine. It's not applicable.

Coroner's report is out.

Wings sometimes just have to be forklifted. It's not pleasant, in fact it's generally quite unpalletable.

That excel chart you sent makes no sense to me. (the "empty plane" bit) I've done a similar chart for my own plane and seen many others, I understand what you are aiming to end up with, a good usable chart. I think it is now time for you to seek help from a professional WCO _ Weight Control Officer - an industry person accredited by CASA to do this stuff. Loading is not a thing to guessing or relying on advice from experts on some forum on the internet. Some will be correct, some will not.

I see some odd things. 74kg/L fuel. I think there is much lighter fuel available. "Empty plane" ARM is what? What is the datum point for this plane? I would have been expecting to see an ARM measurement from datum to nosewheel, and a weight, and an ARM measurement from datum to main wheels, and a weight.

When I worked (sorry, "was employed") in a "secure facility" we would often have non ASIC wearing suits come through, escorted by managers. No ASIC, No VIC on the visitors. Sometimes Senators, other politicians, etc. Then at XMAS we'd have some disguised flog in a Santa suit come through carrying his sack of who knows what, ACME dynamite, escorted by managers. No ASIC, No VIC. Photos can be found online of Santa up in the tower, out on the tarmac, and photos of everyone from the PM down can be found online, inside and outside "secure" hangars, rubbing shoulders with The Leprechaun etc. Not an ASIC or VIC in sight. Yes security is so important. Except by those tasked with enforcing it. I am actually not eligible for an ASIC because I do not meet the Operational Need criteria by requiring frequent access to all or part of a secure airport. My wife's mandatory photo ID card for her work in a public hospital does not have her surname printed on it - for security reasons!

Perfect BrendAn. Exactly what I had a feeling they were. I saw a pic of one in some plane recently, I thought it was a 1600 coz it sure as hell wasn't a 2200. Case closed - thanks.

I've never seen an early Jabiru 1600 engine and cannot find a picture of one. Anyone have a pic they could share? or do you know, the rocker covers - were they held on by just one central bolt and maybe made from cast ALUM with Jabiru logo? Thanks.

Here's a thought. Ask the manufacturer for some restoration advice - Leisurebuild in Bundaberg. Aircraft | Leisure Build Pty Ltd

Geoff H Rather than ask here what someone thinks or imagines about your situation, you need to look at CASA Exemption 01/24 for some true information. Currently the Class 5 exists only because of the Exemption, it's not found in CASR Part 67 regulations. If you cannot find your situation described in here then it's nowhere else to be found. I haven't looked at it for your question - I follow my own advice: Don't believe anything anyone just tells you without seeing the proof of it with your own eyeballs. F2024L00136.pdf

She's having a custom RV10 built as her next plane.
