This raises a couple of questions for me....
I assume that these engines were the U/L type and not certified? The reason
I ask because I was told by our FBO (which rents Katanas), that the rotax
engines are not rebuilt to zero-time but that the core is thrown out and
only all the ancillary parts are re-used.
Was that an untruth? Or are these rotax engines "0-timed" with new engine
blocks, internals & heads?
If not an untruth, then my second question would be why the certified rotax
engines could not be "0-timed" re-using most of the engine as they due with
Continentals etc. ? If the non-cert'd engines are not rebuilt to the same
standard as the cert'd engines (ie: re-use of the internals), is there any
obvious risk of reliability problems?
Confused,
Pete

with
zero hours since overhaul .They are both as good as new and at a
reasonable
price.Anyone interested let me know i will put you in contact with him.
