Keith20EH Posted April 20, 2020 Report Share Posted April 20, 2020 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith20EH Posted May 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prior owner Posted May 13, 2020 Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 I use that unit for helicopter balancing...works very well. I’m going to re-balance the prop on my C. I’m wondering what the best choice is for balance weight location, as I Have seen people using different locations. Which did you prefer to use?

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.
