How are other Rotax 912 owners complying with SI-04-1997?  This is the Service Instruction that  discusses venting of the lubrication system.  As I understand it you need to plug the  oil return line and apply 10 psi to the vent line and rotate the engine.  What are you using for a plug?  How are you connecting a source of  regulated 10 psi air to the vent line?

I have a detailed instruction for this procedure.  As I recall it appeared in a magazine.

   

  Can send you a copy if you like.

   

  I use a piece of oil line about 4" long plugged on one end with a wooden dowel, then apply 10 psi of regulated air to the oil tank inlet with an attachment on my compressor used to blow up ballons and air mattresses.

   

  Hope this helps.

Pardon me I said that wrong. Air is applied to the vent hose connection at the tank.
