Topic: Oil Control Rings - Leyland Truck type BBU-6283

[Gipsy10-2]

Hi All,

        I have just taken delivery of a large quantity of Leyland truck type oil control rings for the Gipsy Major 10-2 etc. These are +10'' oversize and have proven to be very succesfull in terms of oil consumption.

Average useage is 1 litre per 6 hours flying.
Please email for more details and drawings.

Hi John, Ive just noticed that Gipsy10-2 hasnt been on this Thread since Aug 2009 Are you out in Aussie land? Is there a shortage of these rings out there as well? Ive one that has just given up - you wouldnt believe how much oil I burned in 30mins!! The other 3 are of the same age, they've lasted about 450hrs - that does seem a bit short?

Just done a bit of checking around the UK, the Norvick type of oil control ring (the type with the backing spring) - the Ex DAF\British Leyland one are almost extinct in the UK, it seems impossible to get a full set of 4 from one source, eg Skytrade has 2 and no sight of any others in the near future.
If anybody knows different - then please let me know asap!

However, it seems that the slightly less efficiant H&S type rings are more readily available.

I have the Norvick rings here - over 200 onh the shelf with paperwork. Please email: vx118@bigpond.com
 to place any orders.
