Can’t believe what bad luck I’ve had with this plane. Running like a top and noticed a small amount of oil on front of crankcase. Diagnosis……..a crack in the case that can’t be seen with the naked eye. Mechanic says he has never seen a case crack here before.
Case has TT of 2500 hours with the engine only 80 hours after a bulk strip with cam and lifter replacement. Not sure what to do.
