I'm New Here
Hi there!
I'm new here, so i want to say hi to the whole community. I'm from France, and everything I'm reading here is precious, thank you all !
We had a stressfull event few weeks ago, our cylinder #2 brutally stopped at 300ft above the ground after go around, we had to do an emergency landing. That was not the best experience we had, especially with a 220hours Lycoming engine (IO-360-M2S).
After trying to find what was wrong (injection, rocker, valve, etc.), we finally discovered that it was the superior air parts roller lifter for the exhaust valve that was stuck.
We did remove the other roller lifter (intake), the camshaft is clean and lubricated, no metal parts were found in the filters, and we do change oil every 30-50h max.
Questions : Is anyone aware of that kind of problem ? What happened ? What can I do ?
(Our guess is a bore issue with this one, because the other roller lifter has been removed without problem!)
Thank you guys !
Attached, I added pictures and flight parameters (see the smooth engine RPM after cylinder #2 stopped) !
