prop gov oil leak


Recommended Posts

Anyone have problems with an oil leak at the prop gov base?  12smoh, new gasket, new hardware per the book, torqued to high side, locktite on threads, fly an hour and prop gov nuts are loose(1/2 turn). annoying, gonna balance prop soon, but vibes not noticeably high now.  Just curious if this is an io-360a1a thing.

follow up: new gov gasket, new hardware and..dynamically balanced the prop.  gov nuts stay tight, leak stopped. Didn’t seem bad before but way smoother now, see picts of before and after balance screen. first pic is last taken with final vibes .06,  they consider anything less than .1 good.  Second pic is first run.

It’s an H1, recently OH’d as well, both mating surfaces shiny clean.

I’ve seen a case where the washers stuck on the counterbore in the governor housing resulting in a false torque of the nuts.  Something to check.
