I did a dead stick landing yesterday on a nearby lake because of a busted
oil hose.  Lost the oil pressure and lost the oil.   The engine stopped, so
I do not know how long it ran without oil prsssure.    What should I  look
for to see if any damage was done to the engine and to the redrive?

I fixed the hose, refilled the oil and flew back to the airport.
The engine develop full power and run smooth.
Turning the prop by hand I get compression on all lobes.

Going to replace all oil hoses!

You must assume that it quit because the rotors were draging on the irons
because the rotors overheated and got to be too long for the space.

And, or, the bearings began welding themselves to the crank.

Take it all apart. No matter who says what. Take it apart. Rebuild the
reduction unit. Replace everything.

Even if there is nothing in the pan, and nothing in the filter.

If you have never done it before, it is easy. Puting back together is only a
bit more difficult. Buy the overhaul disc or tape from Tracy.

Where are you located?
