| Engine Specifications |
|---|
Engine type: Jabiru 3300 (#1164) Engine Hours: 498 - Engine originally new in 2005 but never used. Due to through bolt and other outstanding modifications introduced over the ten years before I got the engine I decided to bulk strike before using it. The engine was an early hydraulic lifter but converted to CAMiT solid lifter and large through bolts by CAMiT. Other mods done to bring engine up to as close to Gen 3 spec as possible including CAMiT flywheel attachment and alternator. Engine has always been run with a Rotec TBI throttle body and CAMiT 3 into 1 exhaust. Propeller type: Sensenich 60*53 wood as per Jabiru recommendation. Plus a Taylor Made Woodprop 60*52 climb prop. Propeller hours: 450/48 Hrs |
