Is my engine scrap?!

Give Kevin Dilks a call at SAS in Leicester, he runs the Rotax courses for the LAA here in the UK. He will give you honest advice.

Hi  Kristof,

"..........the normal check of the GB is 1000h ........."

I stand to be corrected - it's 1200 hrs, for an engine run on unleaded fuel😈

Had the same.

It was 3 out of 8 hydraulic valve lifters + camshaft causing all the metal on magnetic plug.

Engine was still running but a HUGHE amount of metals collected at magnet.

See attached photo of the hydraulic lifters. Some was worn down quite much.

Every 600 hours.

Do you know what caused this and how many hours was your engine?
