These are frequently glued in place with a blob of Silicone. We have seen 6 cylinder engines working at low RPM's for economy cruise. The end result is semi-glazing of bores. Ideally cruise should happen in a Jabiru around 70-75% power this with the Jabiru Prop equates to around 2750-2800RPM. RPMs We have seen 6 cylinder engines working at low RPM's for economy cruise.
