Default The taxi motor is dead
It is with a heavy heart that I have to report that my taxi motor has died.
I started testing things last night (optimistically) hoping that it had a couple of dud valve stem seals, after putting compressed air into #8 and having the bulk of the compressed air go straight into the sump I can now conclude that it has no longer got compression rings or complete pistons in 3 of the 8 pots.

All is not lost though, I have Boxy looking around in the outback NT for a suitable replacement or there is always Ebay...
