7.2.6 New Engine Storage
In many cases new or overhauled engines may be stored for some months or years before
being installed in an aircraft. All engines are treated with corrosion inhibitor by Jabiru Aircraft
Australia before shipping from the factory however this treatment is roughly equivalent to that
described in Section 7.2.3 above. It is intended for a maximum life of approximately 90 days
–
though the exact effective life of the treatment depends on the ambient temperature, humidity
etc.
If an engine is to be stored before use the owner must:
i)
Install the engine within 90 days (nominally) of the engine leaving the factory, or
ii)
Repeat the Temporary Storage procedures given in Section 7.2.3 at a suitable interval
(90 days nominally, depending on ambient temperature, humidity etc) and periodically
inspect the engine in accordance with Section 7.2.4
When the engine is to be run the storage measures must be reversed as detailed in the
appropriate sections above.
7.3
CLEANING ENGINE AND ENGINE COMPARTMENT
The engine should be kept clean since dirty cooling fins and baffles can cause overheating of
the engine. Also, cleaning is essential to minimise any danger of fire and provide easy
inspection of components.
CAUTION
DO NOT hose engine. Electrical components may be damaged by moisture. Ensure
electrical components are protected against moisture. Caustic cleaning solutions should
not be used.
Recommended cleaning procedure is lightly spray with degreasing fluid
– after sealing coils
and starter motor. WIPE clean with brush and cloth.
Ensure the inside of the engine cowlings are also cleaned.
Whenever possible, run engine after cleaning. This will warm it and encourage evaporation of
excess moisture while the propeller wash will also blow away residual moisture.
In some cases it may be necessary to also clean the firewall.
