    TELEDYNE CONTINENTAL AIRCRAFT ENGINE

    MANDATORY
    service bulletin M89-14
    Supersedes M89-11
    Technical Portions Are
    FAA Approved

    29 June 1989
    TO: All Malibu Owners
    SUBJECT: THRU BOLT TORQUE CHECK AND VISUAL INSPECTION #2 MAIN
    BEARINGS
    MODELS
    AFFECTED: TSIO520BE, S/N 528001 thru 528337
    COMPLIANCE: Within Next 10 Hours of Operation

    It has come to our attention that some engines may not have achieved the optimum
    compression load in the crankcase bearing boss during compliance with Service Bulletin M87-
    25. It is, therefore, required that the above affected engines be inspected as follows:
    Section A. Crankshaft end play checked within 10 hours and repeated every 25
    hours of operation.
    Section B. Thru bolt torque check within 10 hours (one time inspection only).
    Section C. Visual inspection of #2 crankcase main bearing within 10 hours and
    repeated every 200 hours of operation.
    The repetition of Section A crankshaft end play and Section C visual inspection will not be
    required once engine has been overhauled or crankcase has been split, inspected for fretting
    and bearings replaced.
    The inspection requirements should be accomplished in accordance with the following
    procedures:
    Section A. Crankshaft End Play
    1. Allow the engine temperature to stabilize to ambient room temperature. Insure
    that the magnetos are properly grounded. Check crankshaft end play at eight
    positions starting at the 12 o'clock position and rotating propeller counter
    clockwise at 45 degree increments.
    NOTE...If there is no crankshaft end play at any position, contact Teledyne Continental Motors
    for disposition.

    WARNING...USE EXTREME CAUTION IN THE AREA OF THE PROPELLER WHILE


    PERFORMING THIS CHECK.

    Section B. Thru bolt Torque Check


    1. Allow the engine temperature to stabilize to ambient room temperature. Remove
    one spark plug (the most accessible) from each cylinder. Insure that the
    magnetos are properly grounded. Turn the engine with starter approximately 15
    seconds to obtain positive lubrication to main bearings. Attach a spring scale to
    the propeller blade at the 36 inch station (4 inches in from prop tip). Rotate the
    propeller in normal direction of rotation via the attached scale and record the
    pounds required to rotate with the propeller in motion.
    Normal range is approximately 0 to 20 pounds.
    NOTE...If the recorded pounds are not within the normal range, contact Teledyne
    Continental Motors for disposition.

    WARNING...USE EXTREME CAUTION IN THE AREA OF THE PROPELLER WHILE


    PERFORMING THIS CHECK.
    2. Remove the intercooler, peripheral baffle, cylinder drain tube and intercylinder
    baffles as required from the 1,3,5 cylinder side of the engine to gain access to
    the thru bolt nuts of the number 3 and 5 cylinders. The intercylinder baffle
    between number 3 and 5 cylinders must be disassembled in two pieces for ease
    of removal. The intercylinder baffle between number 1 and 3 cylinders is
    removed as a completed assembly. With a 5/8 inch cylinder base wrench,
    loosen the four (4) thru bolt nuts and back them away from the cylinder flange
    approximately 1/2 inch. Caution should be used so as not to remove the nuts
    from the thru bolts as accessibility to re-install the nuts is very restrictive without
    extensive engine disassembly. Assure the thru bolt threads are cleaned and
    liberally lubricate the exposed threads and the nuts with clean 50 weight engine
    oil. Torque the nuts to a preliminary torque to 350 inch pounds then repeat final
    torque to 700 inch pounds each. Make sure cylinder base wrench shank does
    not contact cylinder barrel and create false torque reading. It may be necessary
    to retain the opposite nuts to prevent thru bolt rotation.
    NOTE... Torque should be with a calibrated torque wrench.
    3. Repeat paragraph B1 above and record the pounds required to rotate the
    propeller. If after torquing the thru bolts per paragraph B2, the effort (pounds) to
    rotate the propeller has changed from the previously recorded value by more
    than three pounds or the crankshaft has no end play, contact your local Teledyne
    Continental Motors representative (listed below) for disposition. If no special
    disposition is required, proceed to Section C.

    Section C. Visual Inspection of #2 Crankcase Main Bearing


    1. Gain visual access to the #2 crankcase main bearing by removal of number three
    (3) cylinder.
    NOTE...DO NOT REMOVE THE PISTON FROM THE CYLINDER. REMOVE ONLY TO
    A POINT TO GAIN ACCESS TO THE PISTON PIN. REMOVE THE PISTON PIN, THEN
    THE PISTON AND CYLINDER AS ONE UNIT.
    2. With cylinder and piston pin removed, visually inspect the number 2 crankcase
    main bearings for any signs of:
    a. Bearing shift forward and aft within the crankcase. The back of the
    bearing shell will be shiny if there has been movement.
    b. Bearing contact with crankshaft fillet.
    c. Mismatch of bearing halves at case split line. The pattern has been for
    right bearing shell to move forward and the left bearing shell to move aft.
    The crankshaft should be moved fore and aft while performing this
    inspection. The crankshaft will also require rotation to allow for
    unobstructed view of the bearings.
    NOTE...The crankcase main bearings are numbered from number 1 in the rear of the
    engine and progressing forward (toward the propeller flange).
    Figure A depicts how bearing should generally appear.
    Figure B depicts a bearing that has shifted.
    NOTE...Contact you local Teledyne Continental Motors representatives (see listing
    below) for disposition of any bearing appearing as in Figure B (Press F7 to see Figure B)
    or with any signs of distress as noted in paragraph C2.
    3. If no problems are detected during the inspection outline in paragraph C2,
    proceed with the installation of the #3 cylinder assembly and the reassembly of
    the engine. Assure that the cylinder thru bolts and deck studs are cleaned and
    oiled. Use clean 50 weight engine oil. Replace thru bolt nuts (P/N 634505) and
    cylinder base nuts (P/N 531001) if there are any signs of deterioration to threads
    or nut retention wrench flats.

    (continued)

    4. The cylinder should be installed and torqued with a calibrated torque wrench per
    the instructions in Figure C. New cylinder gasket sets should be used, P/N
    646565A1.
    5. After cylinder installation, check for crankshaft end play and assure prop rotation
    is still within limits of Section B1.
    6. Finalize reassembly of the engine. Perform appropriate testing, make
    appropriate logbook entry stating compliance to this service bulletin with results
    of crankshaft end play and pounds required to rotate prop. Return the engine to
    service.

    WARRANTY...The action to comply with this service bulletin is covered by the TCM Gold
    Medallion Warranty subject to its terms and conditions. Warranty claims may be filed
    through any TCM distributor.
    When submitting the warranty claim for compliance with this service bulletin, you must enter the
    pounds required to rotate the propeller as recorded in paragraph B1 and B3. It should be
    recorded in the CONDITIONS REPORTED SECTION of the warranty claim.
