Please very carefully look at the pcv circuit the oil is separated out and the vapours drawn off

Let’s not be economical with the truth here. Cars don’t go limp home mode because the oil doesn’t get hot enough, (otherwise all my retired clients would be having that problem) . A failed to open thermostat is likely to go into limp mode or check engine light on. Not sure what motors you are talking about but to the best of my knowledge only the diesels (sold and serviced Mazdas up till 2 years ago) were prone to giving a check engine light if they weren’t given a good long drive but mainly because the DPF tended to block up.

Thanks for the article. One would have thought that putting the vapour separator on top of a very hot motor the same effect might have been achieved

And that is your opinion. It’s not the opinion of every automotive engine manufacturer and let’s be honest the car engines of today cop far less maintenance than aero engines. All I am asking is where is the documented proof to the contrary on aero engines. Please don’t be offended when honest questions are asked and only people’s opinions are given as evidence

Nev your like a clock. SO easy to wind up.

ON the Contrary JUST asking WHERE you get this EVIDENCE BASED information. Here SAY and some ones OPINION doesn’t quite qualify as scientific evidence .

NOT SO but where is YOUR Jabiru PRACTICAL experience coming from, infact if aero engines don’t do it where is your knowledge base for the detrimental effects on AERO engine engines. I don’t doubt it’s effects but since we deal in facts where’s the DATA to discredit the effects.

If you say so. !! The temperatures that the jab operates at and the position of the separator ,allows for water to evaporate off and oil to drain back been that way for ME for 5 years but if there is anyone with first had PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE on a jab over a longer period I would love to know about it

Jabiru sell one bolts straight on . I have made them but if you are paying for materials and labour the jabiru genuine is cheaper. You still need the catch can for water and sludge but the oil senates and drains back reduces the need to top up so often

And all this has what to do with he original post

Key board warriors strike again as so often happen the original question was about Jabiru factory ownership and it’s wandered every where but the original topic I don’t care what your stall speed is how short you land and all the other erroneous waffle some of you espouse I have owned 2 Jabiru’s and think they are fantastic, local owned good value . I hope if the rumours are correct it stays in Australian hands to those of you who entered the conversation in the spirit it was intended thank you

Carry it on the bike in the car plane, motor home camping

Have never weighed it but less than a kilogram

Bought a Kings jump pac around $100 started my motorcycle and saved me a call out so it’s paid for itself starts lawn mowers and I have no doubt it will start the Jab. Flash light is handy as is the recharge facility to charge phones and iPads. I just top up the charge before I leave on trips through the mains power. At $100 it’s cheap insurance just buy one
