INTRODUCTION
This Teledyne Continental Motors Overhaul Manual is prepared in accordance with the GAMA (General
Aviation Manufacturers Association) format. The manual is divided into groups which enable
a
broad
separation of contents, (Chapters) within each group.
The chapters are broken down into major systems, Engine
-
Reciprocating, Exhaust, Starting, etc. The
System Chapters are arranged alphabetically. All System Chapters are assigned
a
number which becomes
the first element of a standardized numbering system.
The element "72" of the number series 72-00-00
refers to the System Chapter on "Engine Reciprocating." All information pertaining to the engine will be
covered in this System Chapter.
The major System Chapters are then broken down into Sub-system Sections. These sections are identified
by the second element of the standardized numbering system. The number
"10"
of the basic number
series "72-10-00" is for the "disassembly" of the engine.
The Subsection is the third element of the standardized numbering system
"72-10-12." This number is the
final breakdown of the Chapter. Number "12" is for
"Oil Pump Assembly," that is "Disassembled" from the
"Engine."
