    You may Borrow my Jabiru for the trip, I don't think it leaks coolant.
    Sorry but I had to.

    Every once in a while I wish this site had a "like this" button for posts TJay! You would have got one. :-) JImChuk

    Yep. TJay that was on point!

    Ran the plane for two hours tonight. No leaking at this time. I'll check it again tomorrow to see if there's any coolant in the catch tray.

    Additionally the welds on the exhaust are holding, too.



    Fingers crossed.

    I did that once, the oil seal parts and impeller are a good time to check for the upgrade. I rented the installation tools and had it back together fairly quickly.
    PM me if you need any tooling or parts. I just took my old 750 hour 912 off my plane. its for sale but I don't know if it is going to be a parts motor or a whole engine. I didn't fix the electrical gripe as I suspect (after hours of troubleshooting) that its the pickups.

    As of today, no leak...

    I am still cautiously optimistic.
