Hi there,
I have an RV6 with an 032-E3D with Millenium cylinders on it. I also have a CATTO two blad prop that works well.
I have begun to experience some oil leaks in unusual places due to what I believe is high manifold pressure during takeoff. Could this be?
When I am climbing out of my home airfield which is 600ft MSL, I read 2300 RPM and 28inches of manifold pressure. Please bear in mind that this is a fixed pitch propeller. Can anyone tell me why I have such a high manifold pressure setting?
The oil leaks I am experiencing are at the bottom of the magneto housing and from around one of the bolts on the very top of the case.
I have checked to make sure that my oil overflow is clear and not obstructed.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Hugh.
