If the engine has been preserved, perform
the following steps:
1. Remove the shipping plugs installed in
the upper spark plug holes and inspect
the cylinder bores for rust or
contamination.
2. Remove the shipping plugs installed in
the lower spark plug holes and turn the
crankshaft through at least twice in
order to remove the cylinder
preservation oil from the cylinders.
3. Drain preservation oil from engine.
Engines that have been subjected to a cold
environment for long periods of time should
be placed into at least a 70°F atmosphere
for 24 hours or more before attempting to
drain the preservative oil. If this cannot be
done, heat the engine with heating lamps
before attempting to drain the engine.
Remove exhaust port protective plugs.
Service the lubrication system with mineral
(non-detergent) oil.
Remove the shipping plate from the
propeller governor pad as required for
governor installation. Lubricate the governor
shaft splines with engine oil, install a new
gasket and then install the propeller
governor control.
Align the spline of the governor drive gear
and be sure that the governor is fully seated
to the adapter prior to installing the attaching
hardware. This eliminates the possibility of
misalignment.
Attach with plain washers and new lock
washer. Torque the nuts to 200 in-lb.
Optional accessories such as vacuum
pumps, hydraulic pumps, etc., may be
installed on the accessory drive pads
located on the rear of the accessory
housing. Remove the accessory drive
covers and install new gaskets. Install
accessories in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions.
Install any airframe manufacturers' required
cooling baffles, hoses, fittings, brackets and
ground straps in accordance with airframe
manufacturer's instructions.
Installation of Engine
Install engine per airframe manufacturer's
instructions. Use only the lifting eye bracket
installed on the backbone of the crankcase
to hoist the engine.
Consult airframe manufacturer's instructions
for engine to airframe connections. Remove
all protective covers, plugs, caps and
identification tags as each item is connected
or installed.
CAUTION
: FAILURE TO PURGE THE
AIRCRAFT FUEL TANKS AND LINES CAN
CAUSE ERRATIC FUEL SYSTEM OPERATION
AND DAMAGE TO ITS COMPONENTS.
The aircraft fuel tanks and lines must be
purged to remove all contamination prior to
installation in the main fuel inlet line to the
fuel pump or engine.
•
• Install the approved propeller in accordance
with the manufacturer's instructions.
