I had a 618 on my Rans S12. Although I never flew her after rebuilding, as I could not get anyone down to Port Edward to give me a conversion. I sold it to Rudi Ventor. The motor had done about 265hrs , Contact him. He swears by the 618.
Cheers,
Vernon.

When I rebuilt a Rans S12 with a 618 and C box. I found shavings When draining the box. I found the bolt loose and shim completely destroyed. All I could do was replace the bearings with a new shim. lock tite and torque.
I am not sure if this is a problem with the c box.
cheers,
vernon.
