The problem isn't with the engine leaking oil to the outside world. They were having some problems with the pumps putting in oil to lube the apex seals. They were leaking into the combustion chamber and poisioning the converter. The other problem was with a heat shield causing a wiring failure. Nither of these problems would effect what we are doing to aircraft at all. Many aircraft people are running a small amount of two-stroke in the fuel and not using the pump at all. I believe Richard Sohn is selling a conversion kit to inject two-stroke from a separate tank. My that was long winded. The short answer? No!
Maybe this has been discussed already (I'm new to the list). I just read that
Mazda RX-8 cars have been recalled because the engines have a problem leaking
oil causing severe damage. What does this mean for us? Is this a reason to
avoid the Renesis in an aircraft installation?
