PeteZ,
If the minimum wasn=92t good enough, there wouldn=92t be a minimum I guess.
My last rebuild from a prop strike was just out of overhaul and was about 2
5 pounds (ish) after install and lube.

My bad I wasn't clear enough.... I was speaking of the locked-crankshaft do
g-clutch friction test as per the pic of the Line maintenance manual attach
ed.

I am very near the minimum torque spec (22-51.6ft-lbs), with a freshly serv
iced (by the local authorized rotax center) box.... discouraging.

I was wondering what other folks are seeing typically.... ie - near the bot
tom as well? Or nicely centered in the range (and @ how many hours).

Cheers and thanks!

Hi Pete On our 914 circa 2005 which is new and only run at factory, I pulle
d the gearbox to inspect things and purged oil system and got oil pressure.
 Engine was at room temp with Mobil 1 10w30 oil. It also has a B&C SD20S al
ternator on the vacuum pad which definitely adds to friction. I measured Ja
nuary 284.4 inch lbs., or 17.8 foot lbs.
Maximum allowable friction is 1,328 inch lbs., or 83 foot lbs., so I was ju
st about 22% allowable.  Ron P.
