<p>I have had 3 EGT probes fail. These were the MGL probes, but they are the dirt simple hose clamp and a probe setup that can be found from various engine monitoring suppliers. Is this common? I did not expect to to have one failure in 150 hours much less three. Just wondering if I got a bad run, or if the high temperature environment causes these to fail. </p>

<p>THANKS</p>

<p>The rubber engine mount grommets (spacers) on my Jabiru 3300 engine are in need of replacement. Ii appears that replacing the two sets of spacers for the upper engine mount positions will be fairly easy. However, that does not appear to be true for the lower mount positions easy because the weight of the engine will prevent the engine from rotating (tilting) upward to install the grommets.

I'm sure it was flown very little, if at all, after that entry.<br/></p>
<p>As is where is with no warranty. I know very little about Jabirus. The buyer needs to do their homework and bring the engine and installation up to current airworthy standards.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Asking $6500. You’ll have to pick it up. I’ll mount it on a stout stand suitable for transport in the back of a truck. <br/></p>
<p>Location: 3F9 in Mineola, TX, 100 miles east of Dallas. <br/></p>
<p>You can contact me at 903-423-0054. If I don’t answer please leave a message and I’ll call you back. Or you can text. Or you can email kevinpurtee@gmail.com. I’ve got more pictures and the video of the engine running.</p>
