What causes knocking under load in a Jabiru Engine?
- A
  Anthony CollinsSep 13, 2025
  Knocking under load in your Jabiru Engine can be attributed to a few key factors. The octane rating of the fuel might be too low, or the fuel could be old or stale, so use fuel with a higher octane rating. Ensure that each spark plug is fitted with a sealing washer. Heavy carbon deposits can also cause knocking, so remove the cylinder heads and remove deposits in the combustion chamber, and determine the oil consumption.

Why is my Jabiru Engine running too hot?
- E
  Eric CastilloAug 28, 2025
  If your Jabiru Engine runs too hot, with oil temperature above 110°C (230°F), there are several possible causes. Check the oil level; too much or too little oil in the crankcase can cause overheating, so adjust as necessary. Poor quality oil can also lead to this issue, so consider an oil change using the specified oil. A clogged oil filter restricts oil flow, so change the filter. Excessive piston blow-by, often due to worn or sticking piston rings, may require a complete engine overhaul. Faulty bearings can also contribute to overheating; if metallic particles are present in the oil, a complete engine overhaul is necessary. Lastly, a faulty oil temperature gauge can give a false reading, so consider exchanging the gauge.

What causes excessive oil consumption in a Jabiru 2200?
- C
  Christopher GarciaSep 12, 2025
  Excessive oil consumption in your Jabiru Engine can stem from several causes. Worn, broken, or wrongly fitted piston rings are a primary suspect, necessitating repair or an engine overhaul. Poor oil quality can also contribute, so perform an oil change using the specified oil. Worn valve guides may be the issue, requiring repair of the cylinder head. Lastly, check for any oil leaks and seal them.

What causes a CHT reading error on a Jabiru Engine?
- E
  ericjonesSep 9, 2025
  If you're experiencing a CHT (Cylinder Head Temperature) reading error on your Jabiru Engine, start by checking the gauge, sender, and their connections. Replace them with known good items if possible, and try reversing the polarity between the gauge and sender to re-test. Verify the original reading using a second thermometer, such as a hand-held infrared thermometer, to confirm if the temperatures are improper. Also, consider the cold junction temperature; the standard gauges assume the cold junction is around 25°C, so ensure the junction isn't exposed to excessively hot or cold air for best results.

Why does the oil collector bottle on the firewall fill quickly in my Jabiru 2200 Engine?
- J
  Jeremy MendozaSep 12, 2025
  If you notice the oil collector bottle on the firewall of your Jabiru Engine filling quickly, it could be due to several reasons. Worn, broken, or wrongly fitted piston rings can cause this issue, potentially requiring repair or an engine overhaul. An incorrect oil grade can also contribute, so perform an oil change using the specified oil. Worn or distorted cylinders may also be the cause, again potentially requiring repair or an engine overhaul. Over-filling the sump can lead to this problem, so reduce the oil level in the sump. Finally, negative-g conditions, which the Jabiru Engine is not approved for, or strong turbulence can have a similar effect; reduce RPM/speed when operating in strong turbulence.
