Oil pressure at startup & oil filter leakdown

For some time now I have noticed that my 3300 Gen 4 seems to take an inordinately long time ( in excess of 30 seconds or more at times) to show oil pressure at startup after sitting for a day or more.  OP develops quickly after short duration shutdowns.To investigate I let the engine sit idle for a few days and then carefully removed the oil filter.  No oil ran out as the filter was loosened.  In fact there was very little oil remaining in the filter.  Seems the oil filter is draining down…See More

I am using the Whirlwind prop that came with my FWF kit from Arion.Curious as to what pitch other folks with this prop are using and what they are getting for IAS.  I have my prop set at 14.5 degrees and am seeing about 75 mph at 2850 rpm.  WOT gives about 3000 to 3050 rpm.The 14.5 degrees was selected to get greater than 3000 rpm during break in as recommended by Jabiru.See More

Exhaust stack to muffler leakage

During a pre-flight inspection I noticed what appeared to be exhaust stain on the inside of the cowling.  It looked to be adjacent to where the 3 left exhaust stacks plug into the muffler.Right side does not show any stain.Stacks are fully inserted into the muffler up to the welded-on stop.  No obvious cracks or holes in the muffler.Has anyone else experienced exhaust leakage in this area?  If so how to fix as there are no gaskets at this joint?Thank you.Grant Ziebell See More

I have about 10 hours on my 3300 Gen 3.  I am seeing the oil collection tank/air - oil separator (the plastic one attached to the crankcase vent) get about half full after 4 - 5 hours.  Is this to be expected until rings seat?  How many hours required for rings to seat.  I am using Phillips 50 XC oil.Since the collection tank is vented to the engine compartment,  I am getting some oil film on the cowling and firewall mounted components.  Is there a suggested way to reduce or eliminate this.  I…See More
