Of course, explaining that to a wife might prove to be the bigger burden.I installed a factory reman two years ago so I will have a look.Seems their vendor moved and somehow got contamination in the material they make their cams out of and they have seen abnormal wear in mostly the six cylinder mags.There should be replacement cams later this week as a terminating action.
The carbon brushes were failingwearing at a higher rate than Unison liked so they changed them and the new ones are failing faster than the old ones. ![]() I am researching all the new Slicks, or new engines with Slicks, I have installed in the effected time period. No fun. This is their explanation to the situation: Although the magneto SNs are 08012676 and 08032042.this SB is not applicable as there can be no magneto cam wear ( New Engine, New Mags ) you will have to address this SB at 100 hours or annual. This means that I will have to remove the magnetos every 100 hrs for inspection I dont look forward to this. Or. should I ask them to delay shipping and wait for a permanent correction to the problem Any advise appreciated. Vidir. The 100 hr check is simply timing for worn cams. The replacement cams that are terminating action should be out by the end of the week. The brush has to be inspected every 15-20 hours until they reach 50. That is unreasonable to me and they are at least 6 weeks out of a fix. I agree this is to much of a handicap accepting the Slicks with such faults. Smiths Chronometric Speedometer S Upgrade And ImThey can offer the Bendix upgrade and Im leaning towards selecting them. It is after hours there now but I left a message and will follow up when they open up in the morning and let you know. Here is the latest revision on the cams. Gives dates and checks for terminating action. Smiths Chronometric Speedometer S Serial Number RangeWhy the two different SBs with 2 different ranges of Serial numbers My mags begin with 0608 and are affected under SB 3-08, but not under the serial number range of SB 2-08 from Slick. I know this could effect my taking the plane to Osh unless I can get resolution soon, as well as parts. I have 40.2 hours on the engine and will put on 10 more before leaving for Oshkosh with 2 souls on board which I care about very much - mine and my wifes. Help. Check your timing, if you dont have more than a 4 degree drift you are good. I recently pulled a pair of brushes and coils due to SB 3-08. I dont know the current status of replacements, but it was a challenge a few weeks ago already. Sounds like Airventure will come and go before the brush revisions are available. Regarding the brushcoil inspection, SB 3-08, heres something from the boss on July 10th.
