• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.



Oil in the induction manifold, ideas?

Hi Guys,

I am 2.7 hours after a top overhaul on our Lycoming IO360, still running it in. 4 new pistons, new rings, new rockers. One new intake valve and all other valves were checked. However, no valve guides were replaced.

Earlier today I took the manifold off after I found oil on the bottom of the aircraft, which dripped from the throttle body. See pictures attached

Anyone had this before and can provide additional information about issues with the valve guides can result in this?



Many thanks,
