FYI, There's a powerful Jabiru forum which has many experienced guys on it who know the problem areas well enough.

Got a pic’ from my LAME at the latest service. Metal in the oil and filter of my Jabiru 3300 engine with only 150hrs Hobbs time. Run and maintained as per Jabiru’s instructions. CHT & EGT and oil temperature & pressure always fine on the Dynon EMS. Not even a runup until they were in the green. Oil changes were all clean until this.
Jabiru emailed the LAME “…. monitor and recheck at 10 hours (25 hours at the very most) and reassess as necessary”. I am not keen to fly it.
The LAME took off the rocker covers & found severe wear.
Some time has passed & the plane is still sitting in the LAME’s hangar. I just want to get flying & can’t afford a new engine.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
