I just did a 15 hour inspection of the rocker arm bushing job on my  

2200 Jabiru, and all looks well. I had put some 2-3 hour trips on it  

to try to get time built up so I'd have a chance to inspect it before  

a much longer planned trip. The wear pattern looks good. I expected  

to see a little more oil when I took the covers off, because I had  

drilled out the oil delivery tube fitting orifice from .059" to . 

063", but this didn't exactly flood the rocker area with  

oil...enough, but not  to the point of robbing the rest of the engine  

of oil, to be sure.



The valve clearance setting had to be adjusted, but I expected this  

due to a seating-in of the new bushings on the rocker shafts. I had  

swapped the shafts across the engine so I could start fresh on a new  

portion of the shaft. I'll check the clearances again in another  

10-15 hours, just to be sure the clearances don't loosen again.

Thanks, Peter. With luck, this'll hold up well. Wish I knew why the  

originals didn't...gremlins, maybe. : )
