Cooling System -These engines are designed to be cooled by air pressure actuated by the forward speed of the aircraft. Close fitting baffles build up a pressure and force the air through the cylinder fins. The air is then exhausted through gills or augmentor tubes usually located at the rear of the cowling. Lubrication System - The full pressure wet sump lubrication system is actuated by an impeller type oil pump contained within the accessory housing. Induction System - These engines are equipped with either of two Marvel-Schebler carburetors, MA-3A or MA-3SPA. See Table 1 for model application. Both carburetors are of the single barrel float type and are equipped with manual mixture control and "idle cut-off". Particularly good distribution of the fuel-air mixture to each cylinder is obtained from the center zone induction system, which is integral with the sump and is submerged in oil, insuring a more uniform vaporization of fuel and aiding in cooling the oil in the sump. From the riser the fuel-air mixture is distributed to each cylinder by individual intake pipes. Ignition System - Dual ignition is furnished by two magnetos. Consult Table 1 for proper model application. Depending on installation the ignition wiring is so arranged as shown in either figure 5-1, 5-2 or 5-3.

0-235AND 0-290 SERIES SECTION 3 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 1. GENERAL. Close adherence to these instructions will greatly contribute to long life, economy and satisfactory operation of the engine. NOTE YOUR ATTENTION IS DIRECTED IN PARTICULAR TO THE WARRANTIES THAT APPEAR IN THE FRONT OF THIS MANUAL REGARDING ENGINE SPEED, THE USE OF SPECIFIED FUELS AND LUBRICANTS, REPAIRS AND ALTERATIONS. PERHAPS NO OTHER ITEM OF ENGINE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE CONTRIBUTES QUITE SO MUCH TO SATISFACTORY PERFORMANCE AND LONGLIFE AS THE CONSTANT USE OF CORRECT GRADES OF FUEL AND OIL CORRECT ENGINE TIMING, AND FLYING THE AIRPLANE AT ALL TIMES WITHIN THE SPEED AND POWER RANGE SPECIFIED FOR THE ENGINE. DO NOT FORGET THAT VIOLATION OF THE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE SPECIFICATIONS FOR YOUR ENGINE WILL NOT ONLY VOID YOUR WARRANTY BUT WILL SHORTEN THE LIFE OF YOUR ENGINE AFTER ITS WARRANTY PERIOD HAS PASSED. New engines have been carefully run-in by Lycoming and therefore no further break-in is necessary insofar as operation is concerned; however, new or newly overhauled engines should be operated using only the lubricating oils recommended in the latest edition of Service Instruction No. 1014. NOTE Cruising should be done at 65% to 75%power until a total of 50 hours has accumulated or oil consumption has stabilized. This is to insure proper seating of the rings and is applicable to new engines, and engines in service following cylinder replacement or top overhaul at one of more cylinders. The minimum fuel octane rating is listed in the Flight Chart, Part 8 of this section. Under no circumstances should fuel of a lower octane rating or automotive (regardless of octane rating) be used. 3-1 SECTION 3
2. PRESTARTING ITEMS OF MAINTENANCE. Before starting the aircraft engine for the first flight of the day, there are several items of maintenance inspection that should be performed. These are described in Section 4 under Daily Pre-Flight Inspection. They must be observed before the engine is started. 3. STARTING PROCEDURE.
a. Perform pre-flight inspection. b. Head airplane into wind. c. Lock wheels by either wheel brakes or chocks. d. Set carburetor heat control in "cold" position. e. Set propeller governor (if applicable) in "Full RPM" position. f. Turn fuel valve to "on" position. g. Set throttle at 1/4 travel. h. Move mixture control to "Full Rich". i. Turn boost pump on. j. Pump throttle to full open and back to idle position for 2 to 3 strokes for a cold engine. If engine is equipped with a priming system, cold engine may be primed with 1 to 3 strokes of the priming pump. k. Set magneto selector switch. Consult airframe manufacturer's handbook for correct position. 1. Engage starter. m. When engine fires, place magneto switch in "Both" position. n. Check oil pressure gage. If oil pressure is not indicated within thirty seconds, stop engine and determine trouble. 3-2
LYCOMINGOPERATOR'S MANUAL
0-235AND 0-290SERIES SECTION 3
4. COLD WEATHER STARTING. During extreme cold weather, it may be necessary to preheat the engine and oil before starting. 5. GROUND RUNNING AND WARM-UP. Subject engines are air pressure cooled and depend on the forward movement of the aircraft to maintain proper cooling. Particular care is necessary, therefore, when operating these engines on the ground. To prevent overheating, it is recommended that the following procedures be observed. NOTE
Any ground check that requires full throttle operation must be limited to three minutes, or less if the indicated cylinder head temperature exceeds the maximum as stated in this manual
a. Head the aircraft into the wind. b. If a controllable pitch propeller is installed, operated the engine on the ground only with the propeller in minimum blade angle setting. c. Leave the mixture control in "Full Rich". d. Avoid prolonged idling at low RPM as this practice may result in fouled plugs. Limit ground running to minimum time necessary to warm engine for take-off. e. Use of the carburetor air heat on the ground must be held to an absolute minimum. On some installations the air does not pass through the air filter and dirt and foreign substances can be taken into the engine with the resultant cylinder and piston ring wear. Carburetor air heat should be used on the ground only to make certain it is functioning properly. 6. CHECKS BEFORE TAKE-OFF. a. Warm up as directed above. b. Check both oil temperature and oil pressure. c. Set carburetor air heat control for "full heat" to check operation. Loss of manifold pressure or RPM (or both), depending on whether a fixed pitch or controllable pitch propeller is installed on the aircraft, will result if the control is working properly. Return control to "cold" position after check. 3-3
B. Fuel Mixture Leaning Procedure - Improper fuel-air mixture during flight is responsible for many engine problems, particularly during take-off and climb power settings. The procedures described in this manual provide proper fuel-air mixture when leaning Avco Lycoming engines, they have proven to be both economical and practical by eliminating excessive fuel consumption and reducing damaged parts replacement. It is therefore recommended that operators of all Avco
LYCOMINGOPERATOR'S MANUAL
0-235AND 0-290 SERIES SECTION 3
(1) Take-Off- Take-off should be made with carburetor heat in full cold position. The possibility of icing at wide throttle opening is very remote. (2)Flight Operation - The carburetor air heat control should be left in the cold position during normal flight operations. On damp, cloudy, foggy or hazy days, regardless of outside temperature, keep a sharp lookout for loss of power. This loss of power will be shown by unaccountable loss in manifold pressure or RPM or both, depending on whether a constant speed or fixed pitch propeller is installed on the aircraft. When this situation arises, apply full carburetor air heat and open the throttle to limiting manifold pressure. This will result in a slight additional drop in manifold pressure which is normal and this drop will be regained as the ice is melted out of the induction system. When the ice has been melted from the induction system, the carburetor heat control should be returned to the cold position. In those aircraft equipped with a carburetor air temperature gage, partial heat may be used to keep the mixture temperature above the freezing point (32F.).
WARNING Caution must be exercised when operating with partial heat on aircraft that do not have a carburetor air temperature gage. Moisture in crystal form that would ordinarily pass through the induction system, can be raised in temperature by use of partial heat to the point where the crystals are melted into liquid form. This moisture can form carburetor ice due to the temperature drop as it passes through the venturi of the carburetor. It is advisable, therefore, to use either full heat or no heat in aircraft that are not equipped with a carburetor air temperature gage.
(3) Landing Approach - In making an approach for a landing, carburetor air heat should usually be in the "Full Cold" position. However, if icing conditions are known or suspected, then "Full Heat" should be applied. In the case that full power need be applied under these conditions, as for an aborted landing, the carburetor heat should be returned to "Full Cold" prior to power application. See aircraft flight manual for specific instructions.

The following is an example of how to use the Sea Level and Altitude Performance curves, printed on these pages, to determine actual horsepower being delivered by the engine for given altitude, RPM, manifold pressure and air inlet temperature. This example (using figures from curve on opposite page) is for illustration purposes only. 1. Determine equivalent full throttle horsepower on altitude performance curve for observed manifold pressure and RPM (Example - At 2400 RPM and 23.8 in. Hg., locate Point "A"). 2. Repeat above procedure -Point "B"). on sea level performance curve (Example
3. Transfer value obtained in Step 2 to the altitude performance curve (Example - Point "C"). 4. Connect point "A" and point "C" with a straight line.
5. Read horsepower on line "CA" for given altitude (Example - At 1800 feet with a power setting of 2400 RPM and 23.8 in. Hg., horsepower is 99.5, Point "D"). 6. Correct power approximately 1% for each 10F. variation in intake air temperature from the standard altitude temperature shown below. Add corrections for temperatures below standard, subtract for temperatures above standard. (Example - With an air inlet temperature of 22F. at an altitude of 1800 feet, 52F. - 22"F. = 30F. variation. 1% for each 10 variation is 3%. 3% of 99.5 horsepower is approximately 3 horsepower. Since temperature is below standard, add correction: 99.5 + 3 = 102.5 horsepower, Point "E").

aircraft prior to the first flight of the day. This inspection is to determine the general condition of the aircraft and engine. The importance of proper pre-flight inspection cannot be over emphasize. Statistics prove several hundred accidents occur yearly directly responsible to poor pre-flight. Among the major causes of poor pre-flight inspection are lack of concentration, reluctance to acknowledge the need for a check list, carelessness bred by familiarity and haste.
4-1
1. DAILY PRE-FLIGHT. a. Be sure all switches are in the "Off" position. b. Be sure magneto ground wires are connected. c. Check oil level. d. See that fuel tanks are full. e. Check fuel and oil line connections, note minor indications for repair at 50 hour inspection. Repair any major leaks before aircraft is flown. f. Open the fuel drain to remove any accumulation of water and sediment. g. Make sure all shields and cowling are in place and secure. If any are missing or damaged, repair or replacement should be made before the aircraft is flown. h. Check controls for general condition, travel and freedom of operation. i. Induction system air filter should be inspected and serviced in accordance with the airframe manufacturer's recommendations. 2. 25-HOUR INSPECTION. After the first twenty-five hours operating time, new, remanufactured or newly overhauled engines should undergo a 50 hour inspection including draining and renewing lubricating oil. 3. 50-HOUR INSPECTION. In addition to the items listed for daily preflight inspection, the following maintenance checks should be made after every 50 hours of operation. a. Ignition System - Remove spark plugs; test, clean and regap. Replace if necessary. Examine spark plug leads of cable and ceramics for corrosion and deposits. This condition is evidence of either leaking spark plugs, improper cleaning of the spark plug walls or connector ends. Where this condition is found, clean the cable ends, spark plug walls and ceramics with a dry, clean cloth or a clean cloth moistened with methyl-ethyl ketone. All parts should be clean and dry before reassembly. Check ignition harness for security of mounting clamps and be sure connections are tight at spark plug and magneto terminals. 4-2
b. Fuel and Induction System - Check primer lines for leaks and security of clamps. Drain carburetor and clean carburetor fuel strainer. Check mixture control and throttle linkage for travel, freedom of movement, security of clamps and lubricate if necessary Check carburetor air intake ducts for leaks, security, filter damage; evidence of dust or other solid material in the ducts is indicative of inadequate filter care or damaged filter. Check vent lines for evidence of filter or oil seepage; if present, fuel pump may require replacement. c. Lubrication System - Check oil lines for leaks, particularly at connections; for security of anchorage and for wear due to rubbing or vibration, for dents and cracks. Drain and refill sump with new oil on installation not employing replaceable external oil filter. See the latest revision to Service Instruction No. 1014 for recommended lubricating oils. Seasonal grades are listed in Section 3, Paragraph 8 of this manual. Remove oil suction and oil pressure screens and clean thoroughly. Note carefully for presence of metal particles that are indicative of internal engine damage. If engine is equipped with external oil filters, replace at this time. Before disposing of filter, check interior for traces of metal particles that might be evidence of internal engine damage. d. Exhaust System - Check attaching flanges at exhaust ports on cylinders for evidence of leakage. If they are loose, they must be removed and machined flat before they are reassembled and tightened. Examine exhaust manifolds for general condition. e. Cooling System - Check cowling for damage and secure anchorage. Any damaged or missing part of the cooling system must be repaired or replaced before the aircraft resumes operation. f. Cylinders - Check rocker box covers for evidence of oil leaks. If found, replace gasket and tighten screws to specified torque (50 inch pounds). Check cylinders for evidence of excessive heat which is indicated by burned paint on the cylinder. This condition is indicative of internal damage to the cylinder and, if found, its cause must be determined and corrected before the aircraft resumes operation.

i. Lubrication System - Drain and renew lubrication oil. Replace oil filter. 5. 400-HOUR INSPECTION. In addition to the items listed for daily pre-flight, 50 hour and 100 hour inspections, the following maintenance check should be made after every 400 hours of operation. Valve Inspection - Remove rocker box covers and check for freedom of valve rockers when valves are closed. Look for evidence of abnormal wear or broken parts in the area of the valve tips, valve keeper, springs and spring seat. If any indications are found, the cylinder and all of its components should be removed (including the piston and connecting rod assembly) and inspected for further damage. Replace any parts that do not conform with limits shown in the latest publication of Special Ser-

All timing procedures, except positioning the magneto in the number one cylinder advance engine firing position, are the same for all magnetos. The method of positioning the Slick magnetos in the number one cylinder advance engine firing position is contained in the following paragraphs. The method for Bendix magnetos may be found on page 5-6. (Impulse Coupling Magneto) Hold the No. 1 lead wire spring 1/16 in. to 1/8 in. away from the magneto frame and turn the impulse coupling one click at a time until a strong spark jumps between the spring and the frame. Hold the magneto firmly so the coupling will not move beyond the point where it trips and the spark occurs. Reverse the rotation approximately 25 until the timing pin hole appears in the center of the vent plug hole. Hold the rotor by inserting the timing pin, and line the timing pin with the center of the vent plug hole. (Conventional Magneto) Hold the No. 1 lead wire spring 1/8 in. away from the frame. Turn the gear counter-clockwise vigorously through the flux lines until a strong spark occurs at the lead. Reverse the rotation into the flux until the timing pin hole appears in the center of the vent plug hole and insert the timing pin into the hole.

(4) When the idling speed has been stabilized, move the cockpit mixture control lever with smooth, steady pull toward the "Idle CutOff" position and observe the tachometer for any change during the leaning process. Caution must be exercised to return the mixture control to the "Full Rich" position before the RPM can drop to a point where the engine cuts out. An increase of more than 50 RPM while "leaning" out indicates an excessively rich idle mixture. An immediate decrease in RPM (if not preceded by a momentary increase) indicates the idle mixture is too lean. If the above indicates that the idle adjustment is too rich or too lean, turn the idle mixture adjustment in the direction required for correction, and check this new position by repeating the above procedure. Make additional adjustments as necessary until a check results in a momentary pick-up of approximately 50 RPM. Each time the adjustment is changed, the engine should be run up to 2000 RPM to clear the engine before proceeding with the RPM check. Make the final adjustment of the idle speed adjustment to obtain the desired idling RPM with closed throttle. The above method aims at a setting that will obtain maximum RPM with minimum manifold pressure. In case the setting does not remain stable, check the idle linkage; any looseness in this linkage would cause erratic idling. In all cases, allowance should be made for the effect of weather conditions and field altitude upon idling adjustment. 3. LUBRICATION SYSTEM. a. Oil Grades and Limitations - Service the engine with grade recommended in Flight Chart, Section 3-8.
b. Oil Sump Capacity -
0-235 Series .................................. 0-290-Dand -D2 Series .......................... Minimum Safe Quantity in Sump .................
c. Oil Suction and Oil Pressure Screens. For engines without a full-flow
oil filter, change oil and inspect and clean screens every 25 hours. NOTE
On installations employing full-flow oil filters, step c. is not practical at this time, but should be observed at the 100 hour inspection.
5-8
c. Oil Relief Valve - Subject engines are equipped with either an adjustable or a non-adjustable oil relief valve located in the right crankcase half to the rear of no. 3 cylinder pad. The adjustable valve will maintain the oil pressure within specified limits by screwing the adjusting screw inward to increase pressure and outward to decrease pressure. The non-adjustable valve can control pressure by the addition of a maximum of nine STD-425 washers under the cap to increase pressure or a spacer (P/N 73629 or 73630) under the cap to decrease pressure. d Oil Relief Valve (Adjustable) - The adjustable oil relief valve enables the operator to maintain engine oil pressure within the specified limits. If the pressure under normal operating conditions should consistently exceed the maximum or minimum specified limits, adjust the valve as follows: With the engine warmed up and running at approximately 2000 RPM, observe the reading on the oil pressure gage. If the pressure is above maximum or below minimum specified limits, stop engine and screw the adjusting screw out to decrease pressure and in to increase pressure. Depending on installation, the adjusting screw may have only a screw driver slot and is turned with a screw driver; or may have the screw driver slot plus a pinned .375-24 castellated nut and may be turned with either a screw driver or a box wrench. 4. CYLINDER ASSEMBLY. Although the complete procedure for disassembly and reassembly is given here, it is recommended that, as a field operation, cylinder maintenance be confined to replacement of the entire assembly. Valve replacement should be undertaken only as an emergency measure. a. Removal of Cylinder Assembly (1) Remove exhaust manifold. (2) Remove rocker box drain tube, intake pipe, priming lines and any clips that interfere with the removal of cylinder.
(3) Disconnect ignition cable at spark plugs and remove spark plugs. Remove rocker box cover and rotate crankshaft until piston is approximately at top center of the compression stroke. (4) Remove valve rockers by sliding the valve rocker shaft aside enabling the valve rockers to be removed. Valve rocker shaft can be removed when the cylinder is taken from the engine. (5) Remove push rods by grasping the ball end and pulling rod out of shroud tube. (6) Remove cylinder base nuts and pull cylinder directly away from the crankcase. Do not allow the piston to drop against the crankcase as the piston leaves the cylinder. Hold shroud tubes to prevent their falling. NOTE The tappets, push rods, rocker arms and valves must be identified so that they can be assembled in the same location from which they were removed. b. Removal of Valves and Valve Springs from Cylinder - Place the cylinder over a block of wood so as to hold the valves in a closed position. Compress the valve springs using the valve spring compressor. Remove the split keys from the end of the valve stem. The valve springs and valve spring seats may now be removed from the cylinder head. Hold the valve stems so that the valve will not fall out and remove the cylinder from the holding block. The valves may now be removed from the inside of the cylinder. c. Removal of Piston from Connecting Rod - Remove the piston pin plugs. Insert piston pin puller through piston pin, assemble puller nut; then proceed to remove piston pin. Do not allow connecting rod to rest on cylinder pad of the crankcase. Support with heavy rubber bands, discarded cylinder base oil ring seals or any other method. 5-10
d Removal of Hydraulic Tappet Sockets and Plunger Assemblies (0-290-D2 Series) It will be necessary to remove and bleed the hydraulic tappet plunger assembly so that dry tappet clearance can be checked when the cylinder assembly is reinstalled. This is accomplished in the following manner: A special Avco Lycoming tool is available for removal of the sockets and plunger assemblies. In the event the tool is not available, proceed as described below. The hydraulic tappet socket may usually be removed by inserting the forefinger into the concave end of the socket. The socket will usually stick to the finger firmly enough to be pulled out of the tappet body. If the socket cannot be removed in this manner, it may be removed by grasping the edge of the socket with a pair of needle nose pliers. However, care must be exercised to avoid scratching the socket. To remove the hydraulic tappet plunger assembly, use special Avco Lycoming service tool. In the event that the tool is not available, the hydraulic tappet plunger assembly may be removed by bending a hook in the end of a short piece of lockwire, inserting the lockwire around the edge of the plunger assembly, and turning the wire so that the hook engages the spring of the plunger assembly. Draw the plunger assembly out of the tappet body by gently pulling the wire. CA UTION Never use a magnet to remove hydraulic plunger assemlies from the crankcase. This can cause the check ball to remain off its seat rendering the unit inoperative. e. Assembly of Valves in Cylinder - Prelubricate valve stems with Molytex Grease 0 or equivalent and insert each valve stem in its respective valve guide. Place cylinder over a block of wood so that the valves are held against the seats and assemble the lower valve spring seat, auxiliary valve seat and outer valve spring over the valve stem and guide. Place the upper valve spring seat on top of the springs. NOTE When installing valve springs, place the dampener end of spring (close wound coils marked with dye or lacquer) toward the cylinder.
Using a valve spring compressor, compress the valve springs and place the split keys in the groove around the upper end of the valve stem. Slowly release the pressure on the valve spring compressor and allow the upper spring seat to lock itself in place around the valve keys. f Assembly of Hydraulic Tappet Plunger Assemblies - (0-290-D2 Series) To assemble the unit, unseat the ball by inserting a thin clean bronze wire through the oil inlet hole. With the ball off its seat, insert the plunger and twist clockwise so that the spring catches. g. Assembly of Cylinder and Related Parts - Rotate the crankshaft so that the connecting rod of the cylinder being assembled is at the top center position with both tappets on the low side of the cam in a position that corresponds with both valve closed. (1) 0-290-D2Series - Place each hydraulic tappet plunger assembly in its respective body and assembly socket on top of plunger assembly. (2) Assemble piston so that the cylinder number stamped on the piston pin boss is toward the front end of the engine. The piston pin should be a push fit. If difficulty is experienced in inserting the piston pin, it is probably caused by carbon or burrs in the piston pin hole. During assembly, always use a generous amount of oil, both in the piston pin hole and on the piston pin. (3) Assemble one piston pin plug at each end of the piston pin and place a new cylinder base oil seal ring around the cylinder skirt. Coat piston, rings and the inside of the cylinder generously with oil. (4) Using a piston ring compressor, assemble the cylinder over the piston so that the intake and exhaust ports are toward the bottom of the engine. (5) Push the cylinder down onto the cylinder mounting studs. (6) Insert a new shroud tube oil seal over each end of shroud tube. (7) Pull the cylinder back far enough to insert one end of each shroud tube into position in the cylinder head, and hold shroud tube so that rubber seals will enter the seal seats in the crankcase. Push the cylinder all the way down.
SECTION 5
(8) Assemble the cylinder base hold down nuts and tighten as directed in the following steps.
NOTE At anytime a cylinder is replaced, it is necessary to retorque the thrustuds on the cylinder on the opposite side of the engine.
(a) Tighten the 1/2 inch or 7/16 inch hold down nuts to 300 inch pounds (25 foot pounds) torque in the following sequence: Begin with the upper right hand nut and proceed in a clockwise direction. (b) Repeat the above steps and tighten the 1/2 inch hold down nuts to 600 inch pounds (50 foot pounds) or 7/16 inch hold down nuts to 420 inch pounds (35 foot pounds) torque using the exact sequence stated. (c) Tighten the 3/8 inch hold down nuts to 300 inch pounds (25 foot pounds) torque; sequence of tightening is optional. NOTE
Some 0-235 Series engines employ only 3/8 inch hold down nuts. Tighten these nuts to 300 inch pounds (25 foot pounds) torque using the tightening sequence stated in step (a).
(d) As a final check hold the torque wrench on each nut for about five seconds. If the nut does not turn, it may be presumed to be tightened to the correct torque. 5-13

LYCOMINGOPERATOR'S MANUAL
0-235AND 0-290SERIES SECTION 7 INSTALLATION AND STORAGE 1. PREPARATION OF ENGINE FOR INSTALLATION. Before installing an engine that has been prepared for storage, remove all dehydrator plugs, bags of dessicant and preservative oil from the engine. Preservation oil can be removed by removing the bottom spark plugs and turning the crankshaft three or four revolutions by hand. The preservative oil will then drain through the spark plug holes. Draining will be facilitated if the engine is tilted from side to side during the above operation. Preservative oil which has accumulated in the sump can be drained by removing the oil sump plug. Engines that have been stored in a cold place should be removed to an environment of at least 70F. (21C.) for a period of 24 hours before preservative oil is drained from the cylinders. If this is not possible, heat the cylinders with heat lamps before attempting to drain the engine. After the oil sump has been drained, the plug should be replaced, safety-wired, and the sump refilled with lubricating oil. The crankshaft should again be turned several revolutions to saturate the interior of the engine with the clean oil. When installing spark plugs, make sure that they are clean, if not, wash them in clean petroleum solvent. Of course, there will be a small amount of preservative oil remaining in the engine, but this can cause no harm. However, after twenty-five hours of operation, the lubricating oil should be drained while the engine is hot. This will remove any residual preservative oil that may have been present. CAUTION
Do not rotate the crankshaft of an engine containing preservative oil before removing the spark plugs, because if the cylinders contain appreciable amount of mixture, the resulting action, known as hydraulicing, will cause damage to the engine. Also, any contact of the preservative oil with painted surfaces should be avoided
SECTION 7
7-1
General - Should any of the dehydrator plugs, containing crystals of silica-gel or similar material, be broken during their term of storage or upon their removal from the engine, and if any of the contents should fall into the engine, that portion of the engine must be disassembled and thoroughly cleaned before using the engine. The oil strainers should be removed and cleaned in gasoline or some other hydrocarbon solvent. The fuel drain screen located in the fuel inlet of the carburetor should also be removed and cleaned in a hydrocarbon solvent. The operator should also note if any valves are sticking. If they are, this condition can be eliminated by coating the valve stem generously with a mixture of gasoline and lubrication oil. Inspection of Engine Mounting - If the aircraft is one from which an engine has been removed, make sure that the engine mount is not bent or damaged by distortion or misalignment as this can produce abnormal stresses within the engine. Attaching Engine to Mounts - See airframe manufacturer's recommendations for method of mounting the engine. Oil and Fuel Line Connections - The oil and fuel line connections are called out on the accompanying installation drawings. Propeller Installation - Consult the airframe manufacturer for information relative to propeller installation.
2. PREPARATION OF CARBURETORS FOR INSTALLATION.
Carburetors that have been prepared for storage should undergo the following procedures before being placed in service. Carburetor - Remove the fuel drain plug and drain preservative oil. Remove the fuel inlet strainer assembly and clean in a hydrocarbon solvent. Reinstall the fuel drain plug and fuel inlet strainer assembly.
a. As soon as possible after the engine is stopped, move the aircraft into the hangar, or other shelter where the preservation process is to be performed. b. Remove sufficient cowling to gain access to the spark plugs and remove both spark plugs from each cylinder. c. Spray the interior of each cylinder with approximately (2) ounces of corrosion preventive oil while cranking the engine about five (5) revolutions with the starter. The spray gun nozzle may be placed in either of the spark plug holes. NOTE
Spraying should be accomplished using an airless spray gun (Spraying Systems Co., "Gunjet" Model 24A-8395 or equivalent). In the event an airless spray gun is not available, personnel should install a moisture trap in the air line of a conventional spray gun and be certain oil is hot at the nozzle before spraying cylinders.
d. With the crankshaft stationary, again spray each cylinder through the spark plug holes with approximately two ounces of corrosion preventive oil. Assemble spark plugs and do not turn crankshaft after cylinders have been sprayed.
7-3
The corrosion preventive oil to be used in the foregoing procedure should conform to specification MIL-L-6529, Type 1 heated to 200F./220F. (93C./104C.) spray nozzle temperature. It is not necessary to flush preservative oil from the cylinder prior to flying the aircraft. The small quantity of oil coating the cylinders will be expelled from the engine during the first few minutes of operation. NOTE
Oils of the type mentioned are to be used in Avco Lycoming aircraft for corrosion prevention only, and not for lubrication. See the latest edition of A vco Lycoming Service Instruction No. 1014 and Service Bulletin No. 318 for recommended lubricating oil.
