8. Check cylinders for evidence of excessive heat indicated by burned paint on the cylinders. This
condition is indicative of internal damage to the cylinder and, if found, its cause must be
determined and corrected before the airplane is returned to service. Heavy discoloration and
appearance of seepage at the cylinder head and barrel attachment area is usually due to
emission of thread lubricant used during assembly of the barrel at the factory, or by slight gas
leakage which stops after the cylinder has been in service for a while. This condition is neither
harmful nor detrimental to engine performance and operation. If it can be proven that leakage
exceeds these conditions, the cylinder must be replaced.
CAUTION: ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS MAY REQUIRE SPECIAL EQUIPMENT AND
PROCEDURES BE USED WHEN CHARGING AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEMS.
9. The compressor oil level should not be checked unless a refrigerant leak has occurred or
system pressure has been released, requiring an addition of refrigerant to the system.
10. Clean any traces of oil from the clutch surface.
11. Examine cables for broken strands by wiping them with a cloth for their entire length. Visually
inspect the cable thoroughly for damage not detected by the cloth. Replace any damaged or
frayed cables.
(a) See 27-00-00, Control Cable Inspection, or the latest edition of FAA AC 43.13-1.
(b) At fifteen (15) years time-in-service, begin Cable Fittings 100 Hour Special Inspection

12. Maintain cable tensions specified in Chapter 27.
13. Check torque at forward and aft spar attach per 57-40-00, Figure 1.
