procharger Posted October 28, 2015 Report Posted October 28, 2015 How many o rings are there in both push rod tubes, is it just two at base at crank case or is it two also at top? 850 930 for base of engine?
Tom Baker Posted October 28, 2015 Report Posted October 28, 2015 Just the base. They are glued into the top with Loctite 648.
Tom Baker Posted October 28, 2015 Report Posted October 28, 2015 There is a pretty complete parts list of parts in the SI that I posted in the other thread.
Anticept Posted October 28, 2015 Report Posted October 28, 2015 I was so confused... i was thinking airframe controls (also called push rods) until you said crank case.

Tom Baker Posted October 28, 2015 Report Posted October 28, 2015 950-180 is the O-ring for the coolant nipple. Also you will need to loosen the exhaust to pull the head. The exhaust lock nuts should really be replaced if they are removed.
Tom Baker Posted October 28, 2015 Report Posted October 28, 2015 If you have the cylinder off I would also install the 431-411 double o-ring for the studs. The problem I found is the cooling shroud needs to be removed to get good access to the cylinder base o-ring. To take the cooling shroud off things get much more complicated.
procharger Posted October 28, 2015 Author Report Posted October 28, 2015 I don't think I will have to remove the shroud seeing that it's the front left cylinder, I thought someone said thee were no o rings on my engine for the studs??
Doug G. Posted October 28, 2015 Report Posted October 28, 2015 i hate mobile versions of anything.That's what your phone is! ????

Your engine was not manufactured with the O-rings. It is a after the fact fix by Rotax because of the little oil leak that showed up on some engines. All of this is covered in the SI that I posted in the other thread.
Anticept Posted October 28, 2015 Report Posted October 28, 2015 That's what your phone is! Thus, I am cursed by this torturous device until the end of my days... But seriously, you smart ass
Tom Baker Posted October 28, 2015 Report Posted October 28, 2015 I just replaced all these seals on a CTSW. I won't say it can't be done, but replacing the cylinder base O-ring will be tough without removing the shroud, even on one cylinder. Since you said left front cylinder take a look at crankcase in between where the pushrod tubes go. Your little oil leak could be the precursor of a bigger problem. I have been told and seen pictures of a crack in the case in this area. They said normally you won't notice a problem, until the engine gets hard to turn.
Doug G. Posted October 28, 2015 Report Posted October 28, 2015 I do nearly all my "computer stuff" on my phone because it is mobile. Some old people have a tough time with change and technology. (I am 65 BTW.) lol
Anticept Posted October 28, 2015 Report Posted October 28, 2015 I usually use a tablet, and i hate mobile sites. Responsive web design is much better than mobile side design, since it can accomodate both without compromising fuction.
