INTRODUCTION
The Lycoming TEO-540-A1A Engine (Figure 1) is a direct-drive six-cylinder, horizontally opposed,
turbocharged, electronically-controlled engine. It has electronic fuel injection, electronic ignition,
electronic propeller governor control (an optional electronic propeller governor can be used), down
exhaust, and induction air coolers. As standard equipment, this engine has automotive type starter,
two alternators, and three AN type accessory drives (two standard and one high speed).
The engine has an Electronic Engine Control System (EECS) which is a microprocessor. The EECS
continuously monitors and automatically adjusts operating conditions such as ignition timing, fuel
injection timing, and fuel mixture. The EECS eliminates the need for magnetos and manual fuel/air
mixture control. Refer to the “System Description” chapter in the TEO-540 A1A Engine Installation
and Operation Manual for more details.

5. Safety Precautions - Before Engine Maintenance
WARNING BEFORE THE START OF ANY SERVICE OR MAINTENANCE ON AN

INSTALLED ENGINE OR AN ENGINE ON A TEST STAND CONNECTED
TO POWER, ENSURE THE IGNITION SWITCH IS TURNED OFF AND
DISABLED. DISCONNECT ALL POWER TO THE ENGINE TO PREVENT
ACCIDENTAL ENGINE START-UP. FAILURE TO DISABLE POWER
COULD CAUSE ACCIDENTAL ENGINE START-UP, INJURY, OR DEATH.
ENSURE ALL OBJECTS/PERSONNEL ARE CLEAR OF THE
PROPELLER’S ROTATIONAL ARC. IF POWER IS ON, A LOOSE OR
BROKEN WIRE CAN CAUSE THE ENGINE TO START AND THE
PROPELLER TO TURN WHICH CAN LEAD TO DEATH OR SERIOUS
INJURY OR A PROPELLER STRIKE.
IF IT IS NECESSARY TO COMPLETE OPERATIONAL TESTS ON THE
ENGINE WITH POWER ON, KEEP ALL PERSONNEL AWAY FROM THE
ROTATIONAL RADIUS OF THE PROPELLER TO PREVENT INJURY OR
DEATH ON ENGINE START-UP.
A. Disconnect the battery.
B. Pull and attach a tag to the Electronic Engine Control System (EEEC) Power circuit breaker.
C. Remove access panel(s), cowling(s) and/or baffles for access to areas.
6. Maintenance Practices
A. Obey all safety precautions.
B. Unless otherwise directed do not reuse a gasket, O-ring, or seal. Install a new gasket, O-ring,
or seal during component installation where a gasket, O-ring, or seal was removed.
C. If maintenance is done that could cause contamination of the internal components of the
engine, complete the “Oil Change Procedure” in Chapter 12-10.
D. Remove all traces of dirt, dust, debris and accumulated matter from parts. All parts must be
clean before they are installed on the engine. For specific cleaning guidelines, refer to
Chapter 05-30.
E. If adhesive tape has been applied to any part, remove the tape and all residue. Clean the part
completely.
F. Hardware
(1) All cotter pins that are removed must be discarded and not reused. Install a new cotter pin
where a cotter pin was removed.
(2) All safety wire and cotter pins must be made of corrosion-resistant steel and installed as a
snug fit in holes in studs and bolts for correct locking.
(3) If safety wire or safety cable was removed during component removal, be sure to install
new safety wire or safety cable during component installation.

October 2018 Page 3
(4) All safety cable installed on the engine must meet or exceed specifications in the latest
revision of AS3510. Safety cable must be installed per the safety cable manufacturer’s
instructions and in accordance with specifications in the latest revisions of AS4536 and
AS567 and the latest revision of Service Instruction No. SI-1566.
(5) The cotter pin head must install as a snug fit into the castellation of the nut. Unless
otherwise specified, bend one end of the cotter pin back over the stud or bolt and the
other end flat against the nut.
(6) Torque a castellated or slotted nut to the value specified in this manual or the latest
revision of the Service Table of Limits - SSP-1776, if necessary, turn the nut up to one
additional hex to align the slot in the nut with the hole in the bolt.
(7) If a lockplate is required when installing a bolt, torque the nut to the value specified in
this manual or the latest revision of the Service Table of Limits - SSP-1776. If necessary,
turn the nut up to one additional hex to align the flat on the nut with the tab on the
lockplate. Lockplate tabs must not be bent up on the corner of the nut.
(8) Replace any damaged or unserviceable hardware, fasteners, studs, screws, bolts, nuts,
washers, and clamps with new parts.
(9) Always replace lock washers and lock nuts with new lock washers and lock nuts.
(10) Although the latest revision of Service Bulletin No. SB-240 identifies parts which must
be replaced after they are removed, in the case where other parts are removed, it is
recommended practice, prior to installation, to examine each part for damage or wear
and replace the part as needed in accordance with accepted practices and standards to
ensure that serviceable parts are installed on the engine.
G. Unless otherwise specified in this manual, refer to the latest revision of the Service Table of
Limits - SSP-1776 for:
• Standard torque values for fittings, plugs, and hardware fasteners
• Special torque requirements for fittings, valves, clamps, couplings, plugs, and other
hardware fasteners in various locations on the engine
• Dimensions
• Clearances
• Measurements
H. Specific engine parts must be lubricated prior to installation. If parts are not correctly
lubricated, or if an unapproved lubricant is used, engine parts could become scored before the
engine oil has lubricated the engine during the first cycle of operation. This scoring can cause
premature part failure, or, in some cases, engine failure. As preventive action, during engine
component replacement, apply the approved lubricant for specified components identified in
the latest revision of Service Instruction No. SI-1059.
I. If an engine start is required to complete a maintenance procedure, make sure that if you do
not see oil pressure (greater than 0) indication within 10 seconds after engine start or oil
pressure does not continue to increase above the published minimum pressure in the next 20
seconds, stop the engine. Identify and correct the problem before another engine start.
J. Complete the Operational Ground Check prior to and after each inspection, after
maintenance, and engine assembly. Refer to Chapter 72-00.

Page 4 October 2018
7. General Engine Inspection Criteria
During visual inspection:
• Replace the crankcase, oil sump, or accessory housing if there is any raised metal on surfaces

05-30 - CLEANING
1. Cleaning Guidelines
NOTICE: The goal to keep the engine and nacelle clean is to prevent contamination from foreign
object debris (FOD) which can adversely affect engine operation.
A. Refer to Table 1 for cleaning guidelines for engine components.
CAUTION IF VOLCANIC ASH IS SUSPECTED ON THE ENGINE, DO NOT
INHALE IT OR TOUCH IT WITH BARE HANDS OR GET IT IN YOUR
EYES. WEAR PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT. DO NOT USE
WATER TO RINSE IT OFF. THE VOLCANIC ASH CAN CONTAIN
TOUCHED SINCE IT CAN CAUSE INJURY. REFER TO THE SECTION
"VOLCANIC ASH REMOVAL" IN THIS CHAPTER.
NOTICE: Except for parts contaminated with suspect volcanic ash, before cleaning engine
parts, complete a visual inspection (per Chapter 05-20) of engine parts to identify
any stains and residues and sources thereof.
B. After the initial visual inspection (in Chapter 05-20), clean engine parts thoroughly per
instructions in this chapter.
CAUTION DO NOT USE ALKALINE (CAUSTIC) CLEANING SOLUTIONS SUCH
AS DETERGENTS ON ENGINE PARTS. ALKALINE SOLUTIONS
REMOVE THE FINISH ON ALUMINUM PARTS AND MAGNESIUM
PARTS.
ALKALINE COMPOUNDS CAN GET INTO THE PORES OF THE
METAL WHICH CAN CAUSE OIL FOAMING WHEN THE PART IS PUT
BACK INTO SERVICE.
OBEY STANDARD SAFETY PRACTICES REGARDING THE
HANDLING OF CLEANING MATERIALS AND THE USE OF
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT.
NOTICE: If you are not sure of the correct cleaning agent or whether the component contains
aluminum or magnesium, contact Lycoming Engines Technical Support at the
phone numbers in the front of the manual.
C. There are two processes for cleaning: degreasing and decarbonizing.
(1) Degreasing removes dirt and sludge (soft carbon). Soak the component or part in mineral
spirits or other degreaser. Refer to the “Soft Carbon Removal” procedure in this chapter.
CAUTION DO NOT USE ANY HEATED DECARBONIZING SOLVENT ON
ALUMINUM OR MAGNESIUM PARTS. THE DECARBONIZING
SOLVENT CAN DAMAGE OR CORRODE MAGNESIUM AND
ALUMINUM PARTS.
(2) Decarbonzing removes hard carbon with an initial soak of the part in a warm or heated
decarbonizing solution. After the soak, use a (non-wire) bristle brush, wooden scraper, or
grit-blasting (with non-abrasive media as per the “Grit-Blast Procedure” in this chapter)
to physically remove the hard carbon. Refer to the “Hard Carbon Removal” procedure in
this chapter.

16. Cleaning Guidelines for a Soaked Engine
A. Clean the engine, especially all recessed areas where debris and silt can get trapped.
B. When cleaning parts removed from an engine that was soaked, especially ferrous (iron)
metals, do not use hot acidic cleaning agents or electrolytic cleaning methods (such as
cathodic cleaning) since they can cause hydrogen embrittlement. This embrittlement can
cause a metallic part to weaken and fail.
C. Additionally, acids can generally attack the metals and cause pitting or other corrosion
damage.
D. Be sure to remove all cleaning agents.
E. Rinse the part thoroughly.
F. Dry the part.
G. There must not be any cleaning agent residue on the metal surfaces. Any chemical that could
either corrode the metal or create hydrogen gas which can cause hydrogen embrittlement
during service.
H. Paint strippers are usually organic solvents like MEK or acetone or toluene, etc. and typically
will not cause any damage to metals. Except for chlorinated solvents (such as trichloroethane,
trichloroethylene, “perc”-degreaser, etc.), just about any other type of solvent can be used on
steel or aluminum parts. Chlorinated solvents can react with moisture and produce some
hydrochloric acid which could harm the metal.

17. Cleaning Method for Non-Destructive Testing
A. Remove all traces of:
• Paint • Corrosion
• Gasket materials • Smeared metal
• Oil • Plating
• Grease • Chemical residues
• Dirt
B. Use any of the following cleaning methods as long as it is not harmful to the component or its
intended function:
• Vapor degreasing
• Solvent degreasing
• Ultrasonic cleaning
• Chemical cleaning
• Aqueous-based cleaning
• Mechanical cleaning (such as grit-blasting)
NOTICE: Grit blasting without etching can be an acceptable cleaning method if it can be
demonstrated that a sufficiently fine abrasive (150 grit or finer) will not cause
peening and can be removed by a detergent or alkaline cleaner.
Etching of the area(s) to be examined is to be done prior to inspection when
evidence exists that previous cleaning, surface treatments, or service usage has
produced a surface condition that degrades the effectiveness of the penetrant
examination.

05-50 - UNSCHEDULED CORRECTIVE MAINTENANCE
1. Unscheduled corrective maintenance is necessary when any of the following conditions occur:
A. Lightning Strike F. Engine on Fire or J. Oil Starvation/Sudden Loss of Oil Pressure
B. Engine Overspeed Near Fire K. Metal Contamination of the Lubrication
C. Engine Overboost G. Hydraulic Lock System
H. Volcanic L. NTO & TLO Illumination on the Control
D. Incorrect Fuel or
Ash/Particulate Panel

E. Soaked Engine I. Valve Sticking or Loss of Propeller Blade Tip
A. Lightning Strike - After a lightning strike:

After a lightning strike, if there is external evidence of electrical damage to the engine or
propeller or evidence of magnetism of the engine or propeller, before the next flight, complete
a visual inspection of the engine and propeller for electrical arc damage (in accordance with
the airframe and propeller manufacturer’s recommended procedures/guidance).
If there is evidence of arc damage, send the engine either to Lycoming Engines or an FAA
authorized repair facility for an internal inspection and evaluation on whether an engine repair
or overhaul is necessary.
OR
Complete the following in the field in accordance with the applicable Lycoming Engines’
manual:
(1) Remove, disassemble, and clean the engine (per Chapters 72-00, 72-05, 72-20, and 05-30).
(2) Examine the engine compartment in the aircraft, the engine, external surfaces, internal
parts for discoloration, cracks, and other indications of arcing and heat damage.
NOTICE: Refer to the latest revision of Service Bulletin No. 240 which identifies certain
parts that must be replaced on engine reassembly. Do not re-install any part if
it is discolored, cracked, or damaged. Replace the part with a serviceable
part.

(5) Replace all affected wiring, sensors, and electrical components.
(6) Assemble the engine and complete an Operational Ground Check, per the applicable
Lycoming manual or the aircraft manufacturer’s Pilot’s Operating Handbook (POH), to
ensure the engine is operating correctly.

B. Engine Overspeed
CAUTION DO NOT OPERATE THE ENGINE CONTINUOUSLY AT AN
OVERSPEED RATE BECAUSE PARTS CAN WEAR OUT AND
EVENTUALLY CAUSE ENGINE FAILURE.
(1) In engine overspeed, the engine operates above its rated (speed) revolutions per minute
(rpm). Momentary overspeed is an increase of no more than 10% of rated engine rpm for
a period not exceeding 3 seconds. If the duration and amount of overspeed is calculated to
fall within the limitations defined as momentary, no further maintenance actions are
necessary.
NOTICE: The EECS controls engine operation to prevent overspeed. Refer to the engine
specifications in Appendix A of the TEO-540-A1A Engine Installation and
Operation Manual for rated engine speed.
Record all incidents of engine overspeed in the engine logbook along with any
corrective action identified herein.
(2) If an engine is operated at overspeed for more than 3 seconds, identify the category of
percent of overspeed based on the three categories of overspeed shown in Table 1. Refer
to the latest revision of Service Bulletin No. SB-369 for additional details.

(2) Remove and examine the oil suction screen and oil filter for
metal contamination. If any unexplained metal accumulation is
found, identify and correct the cause before putting the engine
back into service.
d. Refer to Chapter 72-40. Disconnect both the inlet and outlet attaching
hardware from the turbochargers and examine the compressor and
turbine wheels for damage. Examine the shaft-wheel assembly for
free turning and for vertical and lateral motion, which are evidence of
damaged center housing bearings. If damage in these areas is found,
send the engine to Lycoming Engines for evaluation before putting
the engine back into service.
e. Complete the “Valve Train Overspeed Inspection” procedure in this
chapter.
f. In the engine logbook, record the overspeed incident and any
inspection and corrective action.

inspections and corrective action.
OR
Refer to Chapters 72-05 and 72-20, and the latest revision of
Service Bulletin No. SB-240 to:
• Disassemble the engine
• Complete an inspection of the engine
• Replace any parts that are damaged or not in compliance
• Replace any other parts that must be replaced at overhaul or
upon removal
(3) Cylinder Overspeed Inspection
(a) Complete the “Cylinder Compression Check Procedure” in Chapter 72-30 on all
cylinders as a check for the sealing quality of the rings and valves.
(b) Use a borescope or equivalent instrument to examine the walls of each cylinder for
scoring which could be caused by a stuck or broken piston ring. Refer to the
“Cylinder Borescope Inspection” procedure in Chapter 72-30.
(4) Valve Train Overspeed Inspection
(a) Either repeated moments or short periods of operation in the overspeed region
increase the rate of wear at an accelerated pace in the parts that make up the valve
train and consequently decrease engine reliability. In addition to the checks completed
on the engine during a 1000-hour inspection, complete the following steps to examine
the valve train before putting the engine back into service.
(b) Use a borescope or equivalent illuminated magnifying optical device to examine the
condition of the intake and exhaust valve faces and seat faces. If there is evidence of
excessive wear, pounding, or grooving, replace the valve and seat (valve seats can
only be replaced by an authorized vendor).
(c) Refer to the section "Exhaust Valve and Guide Inspection" in Chapter 72-30 and the
latest revision of Service Bulletin No. SB-388 to determine exhaust valve condition
and stem-to-valve guide clearance condition.
(d) Examine the external condition of valve keys, rockers, and exhaust valve guides for
damage (per Chapter 72-30). Examine valve springs for coil strikes or severe
bottoming of the coils. If damage to the valve springs is evident, remove them and
complete the check of the compression load. Replace any valve spring that is not
within limits as specified in the Special Torque Requirements Tables in Section V in
Part 1 of the latest revision of the Service Table of Limits - SSP-1776.

(e) Turn the crankshaft by hand to see if the valve lift is uniform or equal for all
cylinders. See if valve rockers lift freely when the valves are closed. Unequal valve
lift is an indication of bent push rods. Tight rockers, when valves are closed, are an
indication of a tuliped valve or a damaged valve lifter. Refer to Chapter 72-30 and
correct any suspected damage before putting the engine back into service.
C. Engine Overboost
(1) Overboost is a condition in which a reciprocating engine (which has a turbocharger)
exceeds maximum rated manifold pressure. While this increase in manifold pressure
supports engine operation during flight, during ground operation and take-off, an excess
manifold pressure can damage the engine if it is not controlled correctly. If the power
control is opened too quickly, the high pressure enters the cylinders and is compressed to
even higher pressure which can cause detonation, overheating, or cylinder damage.
(2) The ECU can control overboost to a limited extent.
D. Incorrect Fuel or Fuel Contamination
(1) Refer to Appendix A in the TEO-540-A1A Engine Installation and Operation Manual
or the latest revision of Service Instruction No. SI-1070 for approved fuels, octane
ratings, and the use of a higher grade fuel for this engine.
CAUTION ONLY USE APPROVED FUELS. DO NOT OPERATE THE ENGINE
WITH JET FUEL OR A LOWER OCTANE OR INCORRECT GRADE OF
FUEL. UNUSUAL DETONATION CAN OCCUR AND INCREASE
ENGINE TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE WHICH CAN DAMAGE
THE ENGINE
(2) Actual damage to the engine from incorrect fuel could be in a range from unnoticeable to
severe damage or failure. Primary damage to the engine caused by incorrect fuel occurs
in the combustion chambers. Tuliped intake valves and burnt pistons from excessive
cylinder head and oil temperatures are evidence of primary damage. If detonation has
been severe enough, further damage will occur to crank pins, main bearings,
counterweights, and valve train components. The extent of damage can vary accordingly
based on the duration of operation, engine power level and the type of fuel used.
(3) Any mixture of unapproved fuels and additive materials that change the octane rating
from the specifications in Appendix A in the TEO-540-A1A Engine Installation and
Operation Manual or the latest revision of Service Instruction No. SI-1070 could be
harmful to the engine.
(4) Because of many variables, it is impossible to be sure of the airworthiness of an engine
that has been operated with incorrect fuel - except by detailed inspection of the engine by
qualified personnel. Therefore, if the engine has been operated with incorrect fuel,
regardless of the power setting or time of operation, as per the latest revision of Service
Bulletin No. SB-398.
(a) Do not continue flight and engine operation with incorrect fuel.
(b) Drain the aircraft fuel system until all fuel tanks are empty in accordance with the
aircraft manufacturer’s installation.
(c) If the aircraft manufacturer has a procedure for cleaning and/or purging the aircraft
fuel system after the use of incorrect fuel, follow the aircraft manufacturer’s
procedure. If there is no aircraft cleaning and/or purging procedure, service the

G. Hydraulic Lock
WARNING DO NOT OPERATE THE ENGINE IF HYDRAULIC LOCK IS
SUSPECTED. HYDRAULIC LOCK CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE
ENGINE.
Hydraulic lock is caused by liquid accumulation in either the Induction System or the
cylinder assembly.
(1) The liquid prevents movement of the piston during the compression stroke.
(2) Damage to the engine occurs when the other cylinders fire, which forces the piston in the
liquid-filled cylinder through the compression stroke.
(3) Damage to an engine from hydraulic lock can be extensive due to the high forces. These
forces can damage connecting rods, pistons, cylinder assemblies, piston pins, the
crankcase, and the crankshaft.
(4) Hydraulic lock can occur as a result of any of the following:
• Incorrect operation of the fuel drain valve adapter assembly.
• Incorrect starting procedures.
• Failure to remove preservative oil from an engine that had been in storage.
(5) It is recommended an engine suspected of having hydraulic lock be sent to Lycoming
Engines for evaluation. Include a description and details of the hydraulic lock.
OR
Examine the engine for hydraulic lock in the field as follows:
(a) Remove all cylinders as per the “Cylinder Removal” procedure in Chapter 72-30.
(b) Refer to Chapter 72-20 to remove and examine the connecting rods.
(c) If all connecting rods are in compliance with the specified criteria in the latest
revision of the Service Table of Limits - SSP-1776, install the connecting rods.
(d) If any connecting rod is not in compliance with acceptance criteria, disassemble the
engine to examine the crankcase and crankshaft as per Chapters 72-05 and 72-20.
H. Volcanic Ash/Particulate Contamination
CAUTION IF VOLCANIC ASH IS SUSPECTED ON THE ENGINE, DO NOT
INHALE IT OR TOUCH IT WITH BARE HANDS OR GET IT IN YOUR
EYES. WEAR PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT. DO NOT USE
WATER TO RINSE IT OFF. THE VOLCANIC ASH CAN CONTAIN
TOUCHED SINCE THEY CAN CAUSE INJURY.
(1) Given the dynamic conditions of volcanic ash, Lycoming recommends that engines not
be operated in areas where volcanic ash is seen in the air or on the ground. Ash on the
ground and runways can inadvertently get into the engine compartment and cause engine
damage during landing or take-off.
(2) If volcanic ash or particulates get into the engine oil, engine malfunction and/or failure
can occur from abrasive wear.
(3) In volcanic ash fall-out or high sand or dust areas, after the engine cools, install inlet and
exhaust covers to prevent entry of airborne volcanic ash into the engine.
(4) In the event that the engine has been in particulate-laden atmospheres, especially volcanic
ash clouds or with ash on the ground, complete the standard actions in Table 2. Refer to
Service Instruction No. SI-1530 for additional details.

CAUTION
DO NOT USE HIGH PRESSURE AIR SPRAY ON
THE WIRING HARNESS.
Clean the engine, except the wiring harness, with a
high-pressure air spray. Be sure to clean the cooling
fins on the cylinders.

I. Valve Sticking
(1) The primary causes of intake or exhaust valve sticking are:
(a) Accumulated contaminants in the oil can collect on valve stems and/or guides to
prevent valve movement and cause intermittent engine hesitation or “miss.” If the
contamination deposits are not removed, the valve becomes stuck and causes engine
damage.
(b) Conditions that can increase oil contamination and valve sticking include:
• High ambient temperature
• Slow flight with reduced cooling
• High lead content in fuel
• Oil changes and oil filter replacement not done as frequently as necessary. Refer to
the “Oil Servicing Schedule” in Chapter 12-10.
• Induction system not sealed - unfiltered air enters engine
• Cooling air baffles and/or baffle strip deterioration
• Sudden cool down of the engine that can occur with a rapid descent with reduced
power or engine shutdown without sufficient engine cooling.
NOTICE: If valve sticking is a problem, refer to the latest revisions of Service Letter No.
L197 and Service Instruction No. SI-1425 and complete the 1000-hour inspection
in Chapter 05-20. Refer to the section “Corrective Action for Valve Sticking” in
Chapter 72-30.
If the 1000-hour inspection is completed before 1000 hours of operation because
of valve sticking, complete the scheduled 1000-hour inspection after the next
1000 hours of engine operation from the time of this inspection unless valve
sticking occurs again.
J. Oil Starvation/Sudden Loss of Oil Pressure
(1) To operate correctly at various attitudes, the engine must be supplied with a sufficient
quantity of lubricating oil. Unless there is an adequate quantity of lubricating oil at all
times during flight, loss of oil pressure can occur.
NOTICE: Refer to Appendix A of the TEO-540-A1A Engine Installation and Operation
Manual for the minimum oil quantity.
(2) Very often a sudden loss of oil pressure is quickly followed by a sudden rise in oil
temperature.
(3) As a preventive measure, before every take-off, complete the "Oil Level Check" in
Chapter 12-10. Make sure the oil level is above the minimum specified level in Appendix
A of the TEO-540-A1A Engine Installation and Operation Manual.
NOTICE: Circumstances which cause loss of oil pressure can be different which makes
prediction of the extent of damage to the engine or future engine reliability
difficult. In case of oil pressure loss or engine operation with oil below the
minimum operating level, the most conservative action is to remove the engine,
(Chapter 72-00), disassemble the engine (Chapter 72-05), and completely
examine all engine components per chapters herein. Any decision to operate an
engine that had loss of oil pressure without an inspection must be the
responsibility of the agency putting the aircraft back into service.

(4) Any time oil pressure falls below the minimum level, refer to the latest revision of
Service Bulletin No. SB-399, identify the root cause as per the following protocol of
progressive steps:
(a) Complete the “Oil Level Check” in the oil sump (per Chapter 12-10). If no oil is
visible on the oil level gage (dipstick), drain and collect the oil and measure the oil
quantity.
(b) If the oil level is sufficient, complete the check of the oil pressure indication system
accuracy. If the oil pressure gage is not operating correctly, replace it.
(c) Examine oil line connections for leaks. Tighten any loose connections per the torque
values in the latest revision of the Service Table of Limits - SSP-1776 and look for
leaks. Replace leaking oil hoses per Chapter 72-50.
(d) Per Chapter 12-10, complete the “Oil Suction Screen Removal/Inspection/
Cleaning/Installation” at the oil sump and the “Oil Filter Inspection.” Look for
blockage or metal deposits. If metal or blockage is found, remove the material and
identify the origin of material and correct the root cause.
(e) Examine the oil pump for malfunction. Replace the oil pump if it is not operating
correctly. Refer to Chapter 72-25.
(f) If the oil pressure indication system is operating correctly and there has been
confirmation that oil pressure loss/oil starvation has occurred, contact Lycoming
Engines’ Technical Support.
K. Metal Contamination of the Lubrication System
(1) If metallic particles/residue, metal shavings or metal flakes is found in the engine oil after
oil servicing, refer to the “Identification of Metallic Solids After Oil Servicing” section in
Chapter 12-10 and complete the recommended corrective action.
NOTICE: Do not disassemble the PMA, if metal contamination is found replace the PMA.
(2) If magnetic particles/residue, shavings, or flakes are identified, remove and examine the
Permanent Magnet Alternator (PMA) for possible ferrous metal contamination.
L. NTO & TLO Illumination on the Control Panel
NOTICE: When the ignition is turned ON, each control channel will illuminate all warning
lamps simultaneously to perform a bulb check.
(1) The No Take-Off (NTO) signals are connected by wire to each channel of the ECU.
There is a separate lamp for each ECU channel. The wires for those signals connect
through separate connectors on the ECU. Either channel of the ECU can turn on its NTO
signal independent of the other channel. However, if inter-channel communications are
operating correctly, both channels will turn on their NTO signals if either channel senses
an NTO fault. The NTO lamp illuminates when a serious fault has been detected by the
ECU. A serious fault causes degradation of the safety margins of the ECU even though
the engine appears to be operating correctly.

(2) The Time-Limited Operation (TLO) lamp is connected through a single channel of the
ECU. However, either ECU channel can turn on this signal independent of the other if
both channels are functioning correctly. The TLO lamp illuminates if there is a condition
that causes a Time Limited Operation or TLO. If the engine is operated for more than 20
hours with a TLO fault, that has not been corrected and cleared, the NTO lamp will
illuminate.
(3) The Fault Found Lamp (FFL), if applicable, connects to the ECU through a single
channel. However, either channel can turn on the signal independent of the other if both
channels are operating correctly. The FFL lamp illuminates when a fault, which has no
safety effect on the EECS, is detected. The fault must be corrected at the next routine
service interval. This lamp could be out of view by the pilot and visible only to
Maintenance personnel.
M. Propeller Strike, Sudden Engine Stoppage or Loss of a Propeller Blade Tip
(1) This section includes recommendations for aircraft engines that have had propeller/rotor
damage as well as any of the following.
• Separation of the propeller/rotor blade from the hub
• Loss of a propeller or rotor blade tip
• Sudden stoppage
• Any incident, whether or not the engine is operating, where repair of the propeller is
necessary
• Any incident during engine operation where the propeller has impact on a solid object
which causes a decrease in rpm and where a structural repair of the propeller is
necessary. This incident includes propeller strikes against the ground. Although the
propeller can continue to turn, damage to the engine can occur, possibly with
progression to engine failure.
• Sudden rpm drop on impact to water, tall grass, or similar yielding medium where
propeller damage does not usually occur.
(2) A propeller strike can occur at taxi speeds and during touch and go operations with
propeller tip ground contact. In addition, propeller strikes also include situations where an
aircraft is stationary, and a landing gear collapse occurs causing one or more blades to be
bent, or where a hangar door (or other object) hits the propeller blade. These instances are
cases of sudden engine stoppage because of potentially severe side loading on the
crankshaft propeller flange, front bearing, and seal.
(3) Recommended Corrective Action for Propeller Strikes

CAUTION DAMAGE TO A PROPELLER IS SERIOUS AND CAN CAUSE THE

ENGINE TO BE UNAIRWORTHY.
(a) Circumstances of a propeller strike cannot always be used as predictors of the extent
of engine damage or its future reliability. There can be varying degrees of damage to
an engine and propeller from a propeller strike. The initial damage can be hidden but
could become progressively worse with time and wear.
(b) Given these possibilities and the fact that there is no identified clear, quantifiable
threshold limit or gradient standard to reliably measure the extent of damage to an
engine, Lycoming Engines can only recommend BEFORE FURTHER FLIGHT, that
you complete the tasks in the sequential order shown in the Engine Inspection
Checklist After Propeller Strike for TEO-540-A1A Engines (in this chapter) as
corrective action for a propeller strike. Make a copy of the checklist and complete it.
NOTICE: The agency that returns the aircraft to service is responsible for the decision
to operate an engine that had a propeller strike. Lycoming Engines does not
take responsibility for the decision to return the engine to service after a
propeller strike. Refer to the latest revision of Service Bulletin No. SB-533.

OUTCOME OF INSPECTION- SUMMARY NOTES:

2. Non-Destructive Testing (Magnetic Particle Inspection and Fluorescent Penetrant Inspection.)
Refer to the latest revision of Service Instruction No. SI-1285 for additional details.
A. Non-destructive testing (NDT) that can be done on engine components includes Magnetic
Particle Inspection (MPI) and Fluorescent Penetrant Inspection (FPI). The purpose of the
NDT is to identify the presence or potential of structural failures in an engine component.
The MPI is used for detection of discontinuities on the surface and/or sub-surface of
ferroelectric materials such as iron, nickel, cobalt, and some of their alloys.
The FPI is used to identify casting, forging and welding surface defects such as hairline
cracks, surface porosity, leaks in new products, and fatigue cracks on in-service components.
B. Penetrant Materials Used for NDT
Do not use visible dye for MPIs or FPIs because visible dye penetrant materials have an
adverse effect on future penetrant inspections which can cause indications to be tightly
closed and therefore missed during future inspections.
C. Requirements for NDT Personnel
Personnel who complete the Magnetic Particle and Fluorescent Penetrant Inspections on
Lycoming engine components must be qualified and certified to a written procedure in
accordance with NAS-410, Certification and Qualification of NDT personnel. Also, personnel
who make the "accept" or "reject" decisions during the inspections must be qualified and
certified to at least Level II in accordance with NAS-410.
D. NDT Inspection Procedure Requirements and Guidelines
There must be written procedures for the Magnetic Particle Inspection and the Fluorescent
Penetrant Inspection that have been approved by someone who is qualified and certified to
Level III in accordance with NAS-410.
E. Before NDT, clean the components per the “Cleaning Method for Non-Destructive Testing”
in Chapter 05-30.
F. Inspection Guidelines
(1) The inspections must be done per established acceptance criteria to ensure component
conformance.
(2) A 3 power to 10 power magnifying glass must be used to evaluate indications.
(3) If a Magnetic Particle Inspection is difficult to do on an odd-shaped part, the Fluorescent
Penetrant Inspection can be used if the acceptance criteria are concerned about surface
indications only.

12-10 - SERVICING - REPLENISHING
1. Refueling
CAUTION ONLY USE APPROVED FUELS. DO NOT OPERATE THE ENGINE WITH
JET FUEL OR A LOWER OCTANE OR INCORRECT GRADE OF FUEL
BECAUSE IT CAN CAUSE UNUSUAL DETONATION WHICH COULD
DAMAGE THE ENGINE.
A. Refer to the latest revision of Service Instruction No. SI-1070 for Lycoming Engine’s
approved fuels, octane ratings, and the use of a higher grade fuel for this engine. Do not use
any fuel that has a lower octane rating than the fuel specified for your engine.
B. Refer to the aircraft manufacturer’s manual for any other approved fuels and fuel capacity.
2. Oil Level Check
WARNING DO NOT FLY THE AIRCRAFT IF THE OIL LEVEL IS LESS THAN THE
MINIMUM OIL LEVEL IDENTIFIED IN APPENDIX A OF THE TEO-540-
A1A INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL. IF THE ENGINE IS
OPERATED WITH AN INSUFFICIENT OIL LEVEL, ENGINE DAMAGE
CAN OCCUR. REFER TO THE SECTION “OIL STARVATION/SUDDEN
LOSS OF OIL PRESSURE” IN CHAPTER 05-50.
A. The oil in the engine must be kept at the correct level for the engine to operate correctly.
B. Measure the oil level of an engine before every flight as follows:
(1) Pull out the oil level gage assembly
(dipstick) from the oil filler extension
(Figure 1).
(2) Wipe all oil from the dipstick end with a
clean, lint-free cloth. Do not let any lint or
dirt remain on the dipstick or get in the oil
filler extension.
(3) Insert the dipstick fully back into the oil
filler extension, threaded all the way down
to the oil sump and then remove the
dipstick.
(4) Look at the oil level indication on the
dipstick end.
(5) If the oil level is not sufficient, add the
correct oil through the oil filler extension.
Refer to the section “Add Oil to the
Engine” in this chapter.
Figure 1
C. Re-install the dipstick securely. Oil Filler Extension and
Oil Level Gage Assembly (Dipstick)

3. Oil Consumption
NOTICE: To ensure accurate calculation of oil consumption, each time oil is added to the engine,
record the amount of oil added in the engine logbook.
A. Use the following formula to calculate the maximum allowable oil consumption limits for
this engine and record the value in the engine logbook. Compare this oil consumption value
to past oil consumption values.
0.006 x BHP x 4 ÷ 7.4 = Qt./Hr.
WARNING ONCE BREAK-IN IS COMPLETE, IF OIL CONSUMPTION IS MORE
THAN THE CONSUMPTION RATES IN APPENDIX A OF THE TEO-
540-A1A ENGINE INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL, DO
NOT CONTINUE FURTHER FLIGHT. EXCESSIVE OIL
CONSUMPTION IS AN INDICATION OF A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT
REQUIRES IMMEDIATE ATTENTION.
B. If engine oil servicing is consistently frequent or oil consumption has increased or is
excessive, refer to Chapter 12-30 for corrective action to identify and correct the cause of the
excessive oil consumption before further flight.
4. Oil Type and Viscosity
A. The correct oils to be used in the TEO-540-A1A engine are identified in Appendix A of the
TEO-540-A1A Engine Installation and Operation Manual.
WARNING DO NOT USE AUTOMOTIVE OIL IN LYCOMING ENGINES BECAUSE
THEY COULD CAUSE ENGINE DAMAGE.
B. Refer to the latest revision of Service Instruction No. SI-1014 for additional details.
C. The only type of oil approved for turbocharged engines is ashless dispersant oil because it
can withstand wide variations of ambient temperature. The ashless dispersant oil grades
contain additives which have a viscosity stabilizing effect. The additives in these oils extend
operating temperature range, improve cold engine starting and lubrication of the engine
during the critical warm-up period, thus permitting flight through wider ranges of climate
changes without a need to change oil type. However, these oils will not prevent all of the
problems encountered in extremely cold environments (below +10°F (-12°C)). At these
temperatures, preheating of the engine and oil supply tank will be necessary regardless of the
type of oil used. Refer to the “Engine Conditions” chapter in the TEO-540-A1A Engine
Installation and Operation Manual to apply heat to a cold engine.
5. Add Oil to the Engine
NOTICE: Each time oil is added to the engine, record the quantity of oil added in the engine
logbook to calculate oil consumption.
A. Oil Additives
If used, the anti-scuffing agent oil additive (P/N LW-16702), to decrease engine wear, is to be
added to the oil sump during an oil change. Refer to the latest revision of Service Instruction No.
SI-1409 for the general use of LW-16702. If the engine oil already contains an anti-scuffing
agent equivalent to LW-16702, do not add additional LW-16702.
NOTICE: The approved oil, oil sump capacity, and the minimum quantity for engine operation
are identified in Appendix A of the TEO-540-A1A Engine Installation and
Operation Manual.

B. To add oil to the TEO-540-A1A engine:
(1) Pull out the oil level gage assembly (dipstick) (Figure 1) from the oil level gage tube.
(2) Add either new clean ashless dispersant oil or specified oil of the correct viscosity for the
ambient temperature (identified in Appendix A in the TEO-540-A1A Engine Installation
and Operation Manual) to the oil sump through the oil level gage tube.
(3) Measure the oil level per the “Oil Level Check” procedure in this chapter. Add more oil if
necessary until the oil level in the engine is sufficient.
(4) In the engine logbook, record the amount of oil added to calculate oil consumption.
(5) Install the oil level gage assembly (dipstick) into the oil filler extension.
6. Oil Leak Check
A. Examine the following for oil leaks:
• Oil sump drain plug • Oil filter
• Oil suction screen plug • Oil hoses connected to the oil cooler
B. If leaks are found, identify and correct the cause. Complete the Operational Leak Checklist
for TEO-540-A1A Engines in Chapter 05-20.
C. After the cause of the oil leak is corrected, measure the oil level. Refer to “Oil Level Check”
procedure in this chapter. Add oil as necessary per the procedure “Add Oil to the Engine” in
this chapter.

or flakes. Refer to the sections: “Identification of Metallic Solids After Oil Servicing” and
“Visual Inspection of the Oil Filter Element and Oil Suction Screen” in this chapter.
F. Record all inspection findings and any corrective action in the engine logbook.
13. Identification of Metallic Solids After Oil Servicing
Identification of the nature of the metallic particles found in an oil filter element or oil suction
screen during an oil change is helpful as a diagnostic method. The metallic particles can be an
early indication of wear or damage to engine components such as cylinders, bushings, piston
pins, etc. (“Metallic particles” herein include metal particulates and/or chunks, chips, flake, hair-
like strands, shavings, etc.)
Identification of the metallic particles is a progressive approach that begins with a visual
inspection that can be followed with basic chemical analysis or more in-depth analysis or directly
with component examination and subsequent corrective action.
NOTICE: For spectrometric oil analysis to be an effective diagnostic tool, Lycoming Engines
recommends that oil samples must be taken and analyzed at each oil change.
Contact Lycoming Engines’ Technical Support at the phone numbers at the front of this manual,
if:
• The cause of the metal contamination cannot be found
• If the next two oil analyses show progressive increases in aluminum or iron content,
complete a “Visual Cylinder Inspection” and/or “Cylinder Borescope Inspection” on each
engine cylinder per Chapter 72-30.
14. Visual Inspection of the Oil Filter Element and Oil Suction Screen
When metallic particles are found on a filter element or screen, a visual inspection of the metallic
particles on the filter element or oil suction screen is to be done to help identify and narrow the
root source of affected engine components subject to wear or damage. The visual inspection
includes four attributes:
Size - “Chunks” are metallic particles larger than 3/16-inch in size; chips are smaller than
chunks. Chunks and chips require immediate analysis. Yet metallic particles can be small dust-
size particulates - that is where quantity becomes more of the issue in this case.

Quantity – If more than five small particulates are on almost every panel in the oil filter element
or if there is a 1/4 teaspoon full of metallic particles from an oil suction screen, these metallic
particles require immediate analysis because they can be an indication of an engine component
being worn or damaged.
Color – Metallic particles can vary in color: black, shiny silver or gray metal, bronze or brass –
all of which can be an indicator toward the affected engine component.
Magnetic/Not Magnetic – Most ferrous alloy materials can be picked up by a magnet. However,
some stainless steel and non-ferrous materials such as aluminum, magnesium, tin, cadmium,
zinc, etc. cannot be picked up with a magnet.
The visual inspection procedure is slightly different for oil filter elements and screens:
Visual inspection for oil filter element: Visual inspection for oil suction screen:

and folds on the filter element for any shiny
metallic solids.
Look for any copper-colored metallic particles. Use non-metallic tweezers or a pick to sort chips
and particles that look different.
Estimate the size and number of metallic particles. Estimate the size and number of metallic particles.
Typically, small metallic particles, chips, and chunks on either the oil filter element or oil suction
screen during the first oil change of a new, rebuilt, or overhauled engine, are acceptable. After an
initial break-in period, metal content is likely to decrease rapidly to a level that remains essentially
constant.
However, on subsequent oil changes, an increased quantity of chunks, chips, and/or small metal
particles in the oil can be evidence of engine part wear. This wear can increase over a period of time
until premature loss of form, fit, or function occurs.

NOTICE: If the engine has been operated in dust, sand storms, volcanic ash, wildfires, etc. more
particulates could be found.
Table 2 identifies field tests and guidelines for identifying types of metals as well as possible sources
and the next step in the process.
Table 3 identifies the size and amount of material and the recommended corrective action.
Table 4 identifies specific corrective action for the various findings.
The type of material (Table 2), regardless of quantity, and/or the quantity and size of metallic
particles (Table 3) can help determine the corrective action (Table 4) to be taken.

performance, and properties of the metal contamination (color, size, metallic/nonmetallic, shape,
etc.). This information will help Technical Support identify the cause of the contamination.
Coordinate with an appropriate oil analysis laboratory to have the material analyzed. For factory
new, factory rebuilt or factory overhauled Lycoming engines within their hourly or 12-year required
TBO cycle, if, contact Lycoming Engines Technical Support prior to sending the oil filter element
and metallic material to Lycoming Engines for analyses.
A change in the usual wear rate of a part is not necessarily an indication of imminent failure. It is an
indication that a cylinder borescope inspection, cylinder compression pressure check, etc. are
necessary to identify the cause for unusual wear.

12-30 - FAULT ISOLATION
1. Recommended Approach to Fault Isolation
The Field Service Tool (FST) is a diagnostic software tool loaded on a digital display device
(computer laptop, Notebook, etc. running Microsoft® Windows 7, 8.1, or 10) that interfaces with
the engine using the iE2 Service Cable (ST-528) and the iE2 Field Service Tool CAN Interface
(ST-530). As the EECS components and the Engine Control Unit (ECU) monitor and control
engine operation. The optional Data Logger (if installed) continuously collects data.
When connected to the ECU the FST can:
• Display fault codes (referenced in the Troubleshooting Guide in Appendix D)
• Clear fault codes
• Display real time engine data
• Download Data Logger data
The data history can show trends to further help with engine diagnostics. The FST is to be used
only during servicing and maintenance and NOT during flight.
CAUTION TO ENSURE CORRECT EECS OPERATION, DO NOT USE THE FST
DURING FLIGHT.
A. Additional Fault Isolation Guidelines
(1) In addition to the FST, the Fault Isolation Guide in Table 1 shows the specific problems,
causes, and corrections. Continue from the simplest to the most complex possible causes
and corrections.
(2) Review maintenance logs to identify trends and possible causes.
(3) Discuss operational problems with the pilot to identify background, details, or incidents
of unusual operation.
(4) The "Ref." column in Table 1 contains references to the following:
(a) A lone numeric entry such as "72-00" refers to a chapter in this manual.
(b) IOM refers to the TEO-540-A1A Engine Installation and Operation Manual.
(c) AMM refers to the Airframe Manufacturer’s Manual.
(d) POH refer to the Pilot’s Operating Handbook.
B. Record all findings and corrective action.

72-10 - ENGINE ASSEMBLY
1. Corrosion Prevention
CAUTION USE ONLY THE RECOMMENDED LUBRICANT OR EQUIVALENT
DURING ENGINE ASSEMBLY.
Pre-Lubrication of Parts Before Assembly
Before assembly of each subassembly, clean all of the parts to remove the preservative oil,
grease, and dirt per instructions in Chapter 05-30.
As preventive action, during engine assembly, apply the recommended lubricant for specified
components identified in the latest revision of Service Instruction No. SI-1059.
If parts are not correctly lubricated, or if a lubricant other than what is recommended is
applied to a part, engine parts could become scored before the engine oil has lubricated the
parts during the first cycle of engine operation. This scoring can cause premature part failure,
or, in some cases, engine failure.
2. Painting the Engine and Engine Components
Lycoming Engines recommends that the basic engine be painted as an assembly (without
accessories, intake tubes, fluid lines, wiring harness), However, it is necessary to paint an
individual component:
• Do not get paint on any mating surfaces or under the cylinder hold down nuts.
• There must be metal-to-metal contact to ensure proper torque.
• Mask mating surfaces and the area where the nut will contact the component surface.
Table 1 includes paint stripping and painting guidelines for components.
All paint is to be sprayed; however, if it is necessary to use a brush, use care to prevent an
accumulation of pockets of paint. Refer to the paint manufacturer’s instructions for drying and
curing times.
Parts requiring use of paint for protection or appearance are to be painted in accordance with the
recommendations using the following approved materials:
• Thinner - Toluene or equivalent (AMS3180 or equivalent Federal Spec. TT-T-548).
• Primer - Zinc chromate (AMS3110 or equivalent MIL-P-8585).
• Enamel - Phthalate resin type (AMS3125C or equivalent MIL- E-7729).
NOTICE: All machined bosses are to be masked before painting. Do not paint areas under
hold- down nuts where torque is required.
Table 1
Paint Stripping and Painting Guidelines for Components
Aluminum and NOTICE: It is not necessary to apply the primer coat of paint has not been
Steel Parts removed from the part.
(1) Clean and degrease the parts with mineral spirits or equivalent.
(2) Apply one coat of zinc chromate primer, thinned with two parts toluene.
(3) Air dry.
(4) Apply one coat of enamel and bake at 250° to 300° F (121° to 149° C), for
1/2-hour.

Table 1 (Cont.)
Magnesium Parts (1) Clean all traces of oil and grease from the part using a neutral, non-corrosive,
degreasing medium followed by a rinse.
(2) Immerse the part for 45 minutes in a hot dichromate solution (3/4 lb. (0.34
kg) of sodium dichromate to 1 gallon (3.8 liters) of water at 180° to 200°F
(82° to 93°C) (as required).
(3) Wash the part thoroughly in cold running water, dipped in hot water, and
dried in an air blast.
(4) Immediately paint the part with a primer coat and engine enamel, the same as
aluminum parts.
Shroud Tubes (1) Clean and degrease the shroud tube with mineral spirits or equivalent.
(2) Dip the shroud tube in zinc chromate primer, thinned to spraying
consistency.
(3) Let the primer coat dry.
(4) Paint the outside of the shroud tube with engine enamel.
Cylinders NOTICE: Paint the cylinder with a Phthalate resin type enamel (AMS3125C
or equivalent MIL-E-7729) properly thinned with Toluene or
equivalent (AMS3180 or equivalent Federal Spec. TT-T-548).
(1) Remove all old paint from the cylinder.
Paint strippers are usually organic solvents like MEK or acetone or toluene, etc.
and typically will not cause any damage to metals. A vapor degreaser is best
suited for this purpose.
NOTICE: Masking tape, corks, plugs, metal covers, etc. are acceptable for
masking purposes.
(2) Mask off the following parts of the cylinder:
• Rocker box section, including the rocker box flange
• Both valve ports and flanges
• Thermocouple hole
• Spark plug holes
• Push rod shroud tube holes
• All other exposed threaded surfaces in which paint could accumulate
(3) Cover the flange area to prevent paint being applied where the cylinder hold-
down nuts contact the cylinder flange.
NOTICE: In the next step, maximum thickness of the paint on the cylinder
flange must be 0.0005 in. (0.0127 mm). Measure the thickness of the
paint with a thickness gage or equivalent. If a thickness gage is not
available, use a micrometer to measure the thickness of the flange
before and after painting. If the paint is over 0.0005 in. (0.0127 mm)
thick, remove the paint and repaint the cylinder flange.
(4) Apply a very light sprayed coat of zinc chromate primer to a maximum
thickness of (0.0005 in. (0.0127 mm) on the cylinder flange. If the correct
amount of paint has been applied, the color of the paint will be green with a
yellowish tint and the metal will show through. If the paint is too thick, the
color will be zinc chromate yellow.

Table 1 (Cont.)
Cylinders (Cont.) (5) Use a cloth dipped in paint thinner to remove paint from all surfaces where it
could have accidentally accumulated.
(6) Air-dry the cylinder or bake the cylinder in an oven until completely dry.
Refer to the paint manufacturer’s instructions for drying time and oven
temperature.
(7) Refer to Chapter 74-20 and paint the cylinder fin area appropriately for spark
plug identification.
3. Limits and Clearances
Refer to the latest revision of the Service Table of Limits - SSP-1776, for the following.
• Backlash and end clearance of gears
• Clearance between mating machined parts
• Clearance between moving parts that touch
• Torque limits for various nuts, screws, and fasteners.
4. Inspections
NOTICE: Inspections in this section refer to reusable items that do not require replacement in
accordance with the latest revision of Service Bulletin No. SB-240. Be sure to record
part replacement or any corrective action in the engine logbook.
A. Bearing Shell Surface Inspection
(1) Examine all bearing saddle surfaces for damage, scoring, galling, and wear. If any of
these conditions are found, identify and correct the cause.

D. Solid-Ring Crankshaft Oil Seal Installation
NOTICE: If necessary, a crankshaft oil seal can be replaced with the engine assembled and
installed in the airframe. Refer to the latest revision of Service Instruction No. SI-1324
for instructions for crankshaft oil seal removal, seal bore cleaning, and crankshaft oil
seal installation on an installed engine.
NOTICE: Install a new crankshaft oil seal during crankshaft assembly. There are two types of
crankshaft oil seals: a split oil seal (Figure 44) and the solid-ring crankshaft oil seal
(with an internal spring) (Figure 45). The split oil seal is open for easy assembly
around the crankshaft. The solid-ring crankshaft oil seal has more elasticity and can
be stretched over the crankshaft propeller flange. The solid-ring crankshaft oil seal
can be installed on the crankshaft before or after the crankshaft is installed in the
crankcase. The split oil seal is installed after the crankshaft is installed in the
crankcase per the “Crankshaft Oil Seal Installation” procedure later in this chapter.
Figure 44 Figure 45
Split Oil Seal Solid-Ring Crankshaft Oil Seal
NOTICE: An oversize crankshaft oil seal could be necessary if the crankcase bore size was
increased. Part numbers for oversized parts include a “P” suffix, such as –P50 and
are identified on the face of the seal. Except for the revised outside diameter of the
seals, the oversize seals are identical in other aspects to the standard size seals.
For correct sealing, remove all traces of the oil sealant and oil from the crankcase
before installation of a new crankshaft oil seal.
(1) If not already done, complete the “Starter Ring Gear Support Removal” procedure in
Chapter 72-70.
(2) Examine the propeller flange, crankshaft sealing surface, and the crankcase seal bore
recess for any scratches or nicks that damage or cause the seal to leak; if scratches or

C. Look for loose or damaged cylinder hold-down studs. If loose or damaged cylinder hold-
down-studs are found, replace with appropriate oversize studs per Appendix A.
D. Look for loose or damaged spark plug Heli-Coil® inserts. If a loose or damaged Heli-Coil® is
found, replace the Heli-Coil® per the “Heli-Coil® Replacement” procedure in this chapter.
E. Look for cracked or broken fins and baffles (Figure 1). If a cooling fin adjacent to the exhaust
port flange is cracked, a 3/16 in. (4.76 mm) diameter hole can be drilled as a stop, under the
following conditions:
• The end of the crack is at least 1/4 in. (6.35 mm) from the base of the metal; or
• The cracked area can be removed from the fin, provided the maximum removal is no more
than one-half the total fin width; or
• No burrs or sharp edges are in evidence; or
• The minimum fillet at the root of the removed portion of the fin has a 1/4 in. (6.35 mm)
radius, and the minimum corner at the top of the fin adjacent to the removed portion has a
1/2 in. (12.7 mm) radius; or
• There is no more than one crack per fin and its depth is not longer than 1/4 in. (6.35 mm)
from the base of the metal, and a fin stabilizer is used to reduce vibration and prevent
further deepening of the crack.

• If a cooling fin is damaged, broken or bent, the bent area must not exceed 3/8 in. (9.53
mm) nor the break be 3/8 in. (9.53 mm) deep, or:
(1) There cannot be more than four blended fins on the push rod side of the head, or
(2) No more than six blended fins on the anti-push rod side of the head.

3. Cylinder Compression Check
A. The Cylinder Compression Check is done on an installed engine and measures pressure
leakage through the combustion chamber using a regulated pressure source and tester. It is
essentially a cylinder leak-check procedure as an initial inspection of the condition of the
engine cylinders. This procedure compares the static leak rate of the cylinder with the leak
rate through an orifice of a specified range.
B. The Cylinder Compression Check on the engine cylinders must be done at the following
times or if the engine has any of these conditions:
• After every 100 hours of engine • Difficulty starting
operation or annual inspection
• Increased oil consumption
• Loss of power or unsteady power • Other indications of unusual operation.
A differential compression tester (Figure 2), attached to pressure gages is used for the Cylinder
Compression Check. This tester operates with a given airflow through a fixed orifice and
measures constant pressure drop across that orifice. This Cylinder Compression Check identifies
leaks caused by incorrect valve seating, worn piston rings, damaged pistons or damaged
cylinders. The static leak rate can indicate the condition of the parts in the combustion chamber.
The leak rate is measured when pressure drops.

NOTICE: The orifice size of the differential compression tester is critical for consistent and
meaningful cylinder analysis. A specific orifice size of 0.040 in. diameter (No. 60
drill) x 0.250 in. long, with entrance angle of 59°/60° supplies an acceptable
calibrated leak rate. Larger orifice sizes can decrease the effectiveness of identifying
problems.
Figure 2
Example of a Differential Compression Tester
(1) All differential compression testers must be in compliance with these specifications:
• 0.250 in. long restrictor orifice
• 0.040 in. ID (No. 61 drill) orifice diameter
• 60° entrance angle
(2) Make sure that all of the gages to be connected to the differential compression tester are
calibrated in accordance with the differential compression tester manufacturer’s
specifications.
(3) Refer to the differential compression tester’s manufacturer’s instructions to ensure the
tester operates correctly.
C. Cylinder Compression Check Procedure
NOTICE: Make sure the differential compression tester has been calibrated and the equipment
check is complete per previous steps before this cylinder compression check.
This check is to be done on an engine installed in the airframe or test stand without
interruption while the cylinder is still warm.
(1) Immediately before the Cylinder Compression Check:
(a) Operate the engine at usual cylinder head and oil temperatures (specified in Appendix
A of the TEO-540-A1A Engine Installation and Operation Manual).
(b) Put the power control in the IDLE CUT-OFF position.
(c) Move the ignition switch to the OFF position to shut down the engine.

(d) Pull the EECS power circuit breaker.
(e) Make sure that the aircraft master switch and fuel supply switches are all in the OFF
position.
(f) After the engine is shut down, complete the Cylinder Compression Check
immediately to get an accurate measurement.
(g) Set the aircraft brakes and install the wheel chocks.
CAUTION TAKE ALL NECESSARY PRECAUTIONS AGAINST
ACCIDENTAL ROTATION OF THE CRANKSHAFT/PROPELLER
TO PREVENT INJURY.
(2) Disconnect the battery.
CAUTION IGNTION LEADS AND SPARK PLUGS ARE VERY HOT. IN THE
NEXT STEP, WEAR PERSONAL PROTECTIVE GEAR TO PREVENT
BURNS.
(3) Disconnect all of the spark plugs leads per the “Spark Plug Removal” procedure in
Chapter 74-20.
(4) Remove a spark plug from each cylinder. Discard the spark plug gasket.
CAUTION USE GLOVES OR RAGS TO PROTECT HANDS WHILE HOLDING
THE PROPELLER BLADE.
(5) Turn the crankshaft by hand in the direction of propeller rotation to put the piston in a
position as close to Top Dead Center (TDC) on the compression stroke as possible.
(6) Install the threaded end of an adapter with a coupling end in the spark plug hole of the
cylinder to be tested.
(7) Make sure that the air valve on the differential compression tester is in the CLOSED
position.
(8) Connect the differential compression tester to the adapter and to a clean source of
compressed air.
CAUTION BEFORE CONNECTION OF THE COMPRESSION TESTER, MAKE
SURE THAT THE AIR SUPPLY REGULATOR DOES NOT SHOW
MORE THAN 80 PSI (552 KPA) OF AIR PRESSURE. EXCESSIVE
AIR PRESSURE CAN CAUSE THE PROPELLER TO TURN. KEEP
CLEAR OF THE ROTATIONAL RADIUS OF THE PROPELLER.
NOTICE: Operate the differential compression tester per the manufacturer’s instructions.
(9) Adjust the regulator of the compression tester to 0 psi (0 kPa) on the regulated pressure
gage.
(10) Connect the differential compression tester to the adapter in the spark plug hole of the
cylinder to be tested.
(11) One mechanic holds the propeller firmly in place, to prevent crankshaft rotation, while
the other mechanic opens the cylinder pressure valve in the next step.

WARNING IN THE NEXT STEP, HOLD THE PROPELLER FIRMLY WHEN

OPENING THE AIR VALVE ON THE DIFFERENTIAL
COMPRESSION TESTER. PENT-UP AIR PRESSURE IN THE
CYLINDER COULD CAUSE THE CRANKSHAFT TO TURN.
(12) Slowly open the air valve on the differential compression tester and increase the pressure
to the cylinder to 15 to 20 psi (103 to 138 kPa).
(13) Listen for escaping air. If escaping air is heard, refer to Table 2 to identify and correct
the cause.
(14) Continue to turn the propeller in the usual direction of rotation against the 15 to 20 psi
(103 to 138 kPa) pressure until the piston reaches TDC evident by a sudden decrease in
the force necessary to turn the propeller.
NOTICE: If you turn the propeller past TDC, back up the rotation at least one revolution
and repeat the previous step to prevent backlash and to keep the piston rings in
position.
(15) With the piston at TDC, one mechanic holds the propeller securely while the other
mechanic opens the air valve slowly and completely. Gradually increase the air supply
pressure up to 80 psi (552 kPa). As the pressure increases, the other mechanic must
move the propeller back and forth slightly with a rocking motion to make sure that the
piston rings are seated.
(16) Record the pressure reading on the engine cylinder pressure gage. The difference
between the engine cylinder pressure gage reading and the pressure shown on the air
supply pressure gage reading is the amount of leakage through the cylinder.
(17) The minimum approved engine cylinder pressure reading is 60 psi (414 kPa). Maximum
approved leakage is 25% (20 psi (138 kPa) of the 80 psi (552 kPa) regulated pressure).
(18) Close the air valve and disconnect the differential compression tester from the engine
cylinder and connect it to the spark plug hole of the next engine cylinder to be tested.
NOTICE: Pressure readings for all of the engine cylinders are to be nearly equal. Refer to
Table 2.
(19) Complete the previous steps for each of the remaining engine cylinders.
(20) Refer to Table 2 for a summary of the Cylinder Compression Check results and
corrective action. Corrective action in Table 2 applies to procedures in this chapter.
D. Review and analyze the results. Take any necessary corrective action.
E. Record the results of the Cylinder Compression Check for each cylinder on the 100-Hour or
Annual Engine Inspection Checklist (in Chapter 05-20).
F. After all service is complete, examine and install the spark plugs with a new gasket and
connect the ignition leads to the spark plugs per the following procedures in Chapter 74-20.
• Spark Plug Inspection • Spark Plug Rotation
• Ignition Lead Inspection • Spark Plug Installation

4. Intercylinder Baffle Inspection
NOTICE: This inspection can be done while the intercylinder baffles are installed on the engine.
A. This inspection is done during the visual inspection to look for premature cylinder
deterioration and make sure that intercylinder baffles are correctly fitted and installed. The
intercylinder baffles are necessary to prevent rapid deterioration of the cylinders and other
engine components because they transfer heat in piston engines. To ensure this cooling, the
intercylinder baffles must be installed intact and operating correctly.
B. Intercylinder Baffle Inspection Procedure
(1) Examine the intercylinder baffle (Figure 3) and
surrounding components for damage, holes, cracks,
wear, deterioration, and incorrect position. Replace a

ENGINE IS DISCONNECTED.
AS A PRECAUTION, DO NOT STAND OR ALLOW ANYONE TO STAND
WITHIN THE ROTATIONAL ARC RADIUS OF THE PROPELLER. MAKE
SURE THE ENGINE IS COOL.
A. The cylinder borescope inspection is done to examine the inner walls of the engine cylinders
for rust, deposits and unusual wear patterns of the combustion chamber, valve, piston top,
and the cylinder barrel without removing the engine cylinder.
B. When to complete the Cylinder Borescope Inspection:
(1) Repeatedly high oil consumption is excessive
(2) 400-hour inspection
(3) After an engine overspeed
(4) Low cylinder compression

6. Exhaust Valve and Guide Inspection
On TEO-540-A1A engines, this inspection is to be done after every 1000 hours of engine
operation or earlier if valve sticking is suspected.
NOTICE: If valve sticking is a problem, this inspection must be done every 400 hours. Refer
to “Corrective Action for Valve Sticking” in this chapter.
Sticking between the valve stem and guide (on intake and exhaust valves) can
substantially change valve opening and closing. If the valve cannot open or close
correctly, incomplete combustion will occur, which can cause formation of more
deposits and increased valve sticking. Because a correctly-timed sequence of valve
opening and closing is essential to efficient and reliable engine operation, the cause
of valve sticking must be identified and corrected.

WARNING A STUCK VALVE CAN CAUSE ENGINE DAMAGE.

NOTICE: If one valve is sticking, examine all intake and exhaust valves on all of the engine
cylinders.
The exhaust valve and guide must be examined to measure valve stem movement to identify
excessive wear (bell-mouthing) of the exhaust valve guide and carbon build-up between the
valve guide and valve stem which can cause valve sticking
Refer to the latest revision of Service Bulletin No. SB-388, Service Instruction No. SI-1485, and
Service Letter L197 for additional details.
NOTICE: The Gage (ST-310) is used to examine angular-type valves on engine cylinders.
Although Gage (ST-310) and a feeler gage can be used to measure valve stem
movement, a modified Gage (ST-310) (Figure 4) and a dial indicator are a faster and
easier means to measure valve stem movement, valve guide wear, and carbon build-
up per this procedure.
Figure 4
Details for Modifying Tool P/N ST-310
NOTICE: Do not intermix valve and cylinder components between cylinders. Re-install
serviceable parts in the same cylinder.

16. Corrective Action for Valve Sticking
NOTICE: If valve sticking is a problem, complete the 1000-hour inspection (regardless of the
number of engine operating hours). After correcting the cause of valve sticking,
complete the 1000-hour inspection after the next 1000 hours of engine operation, unless
valve sticking occurs again.
Sticking between the valve stem and guide (on intake and exhaust valves) can
substantially change valve opening and closing. If the valve cannot open or close
correctly, incomplete combustion will occur, which can cause formation of more
deposits and increased valve sticking. Because a correctly-timed sequence of valve
opening and closing is essential to efficient and reliable engine operation, the cause of
valve sticking must be identified and corrected.
WARNING A STUCK VALVE CAN CAUSE ENGINE FAILURE.
NOTICE: If one valve is sticking, examine all other valves on all of the engine cylinders as a
precaution.
A. Per Chapter 12-10 complete an oil and filter change and have an analysis done on the
metallic solids in the oil filter to identify the contamination and find the source to correct the
problem. Refer to the latest revision of Service Bulletin No. SB-480.
B. If the source of the oil contamination cannot be found or corrected, complete the following
procedures in Chapter 12-10:
(1) Replace the oil filter (more often) after every 25 hours of operation (instead of after every
50 hours of engine operation.)
(2) Complete an oil change after every 25 hours of operation (instead of after every 50 hours
of engine operation.)
C. Complete an air filter change at more frequent intervals and apply a cover over the induction
system to keep dirt out of the oil supply.
D. Examine the cooling air baffles and baffle strips for contamination. Remove any
contamination.

E. Identify with a tag and remove the top spark plugs from the engine cylinders per the “Spark
Plug Removal” procedure in Chapter 74-20.
F. Identify the location of each cylinder and valve train component for reference on assembly
and remove the cylinder and valve train components per the “Cylinder Removal” section in
this chapter.
G. Remove the intake and exhaust valves per the “Intake Valve Removal” and “Exhaust Valve
Removal” sections in this chapter.
H. Examine the valve stem keys (Figure 27) for wear. Look for any distinct, uniform patterns.
Replace worn valve stem keys.

guide dimensions to use the correct reamer.
Use reamer tools to remove hardened carbon from the valve guides.
I. Apply ordinary cup grease on the flutes of the reamer to trap and hold the deposits on the
reamer.
J. Ream the valve guide as follows:
(1) Apply force on the reamer to ensure the reamer has gone through the full length of the
valve guide. The 1 in. (2.54 cm) pilot must be visible through the exhaust port or through
spark plug hole using an angled mirror.
(2) Clean the valve guide per the “Hard Carbon Removal” procedure in Chapter 05-30 for
additional cleaning details.
(3) Measure the inner diameter of the valve guide using the correct plug gage.
(4) Examine the reamed hole to see if the reamer has cut all the way to the exhaust port end
of the guide. If it has not, and the exhaust port end of the hole looks dark, the valve guide
is bell-mouthed and must be replaced.
(5) If the valve is acceptable, apply lubricant to the valve guide.
CAUTION NEVER USE THE PISTON TO PUSH THE VALVE THROUGH THE
GUIDE.
K. Install the valves that are satisfactory, in the same position where they were. Refer to the
“Intake Valve Installation” and “Exhaust Valve Installation” procedures in this chapter.

cylinder barrel.
B. Use kerosene or light engine oil for lubrication while honing.
C. Put the deglazing hone in a low-speed drill.
D. Surface hone each cylinder barrel with a minimum of six to eight passes over the glazed
surface, using a smooth up and down motion of the hone to achieve a good cross-hatch
pattern on the cylinder barrel wall.
E. Thoroughly clean the hone.
F. Wipe as much of the abrasive build-up from the cylinder walls and recesses as possible,
especially the recesses formed by the top of the cylinder barrel and the bottom of the cylinder
head.
G. Make a hooked tool from soft wire and rub the tool back and forth in the recess to loosen any
built-up abrasive. Complete this task each time the cylinder is flushed. There must not be any
abraded material in this area.
H. Complete the “Cylinder Cleaning” procedure in Chapter 05-30.
I. Lubricate the internal cylinder barrel thoroughly with SAE 50 engine oil or a rust
preventative oil that conforms with MIL-C-6529.
NOTICE: If step wear is found inside the cylinder barrel, measure it using the dial bore gage
(which is usually used to measure cylinder diameter). If the depth of the step wear is
less than 0.0025 in. (0.0635 mm), remove the step as per the previous steps to
remove cylinder barrel glaze. If the barrel contains a wear step exceeding 0.0025 in.
(0.0635 mm), replace the cylinder. Record the condition and corrective action in the
engine logbook.
In some cylinders, a small rough area can be found at either end of the barrel
extending less than 0.250 in. (6.35 mm) from the end. This condition is a result of
the manufacturing process and has no effect on the quality or condition of the barrel.

20. Heli-Coil® Replacement
A. Replace the spark plug Heli-Coil® insert (Figure 49) in the cylinder head if the threads in the
spark plug hole in the cylinder are damaged (usually occurs when hard carbon on the end of

72-40 - TURBOCHARGER MAINTENANCE
1. General
A. This engine has two turbochargers, one on each side. A left and right exhaust transition
attaches to a respective left and right turbocharger (Figure 1). Each turbocharger has two
sides, a turbine side and a compressor side. Exhaust gas continuously passes through the
turbine side of the turbocharger and turns the turbine within the turbocharger. The turbine
rotation compresses air that flows through intake pipes on the compressor side of the
turbocharger. The air becomes pressurized and is discharged to left and right intercoolers
through pipes. From the intercooler, this cooler air flow passes through a respective left and
right intake pipe to the air inlet housing (Figure 2). Through the throttle body and into the
sump air intake then through the intake pipes to the cylinders. The exhaust gas is discharged
through exhaust outlet pipes attached to the turbocharger.
B. An exhaust bypass valve (Figure 1) at the Y-shaped exhaust transition on the left side of the
engine controls the amount of exhaust gas flow to the turbocharger. This valve is controlled
by an oil pressure actuator which is activated by an ECU controlled solenoid in the accessory
housing
C. The EECS controls the amount of exhaust gases supplied to the turbine wheels and monitors
compressor outlet pressure from sea level to critical altitude.
2. 50-Hour Turbocharger Inspection
A. Examine all of the hoses and mounting brackets in the turbocharger system for damage,
leaks, tightness, and blockage. Identify and correct the cause of any leaks. Replace any
damaged gaskets or hoses.
B. Make sure all connections in the exhaust system at the turbocharger V-band couplings
(Figure 1) are tight and do not have air leaks. Examine the tightness of the V-band coupling
on the turbocharger by inserting a screwdriver in the space made by the hinged latch of the
coupling. Try to turn the coupling using a force of approximately 20 ft.-lb. (27 Nm). If the
clamp does not turn, measure the torque of the self-locking clamp nut by tightening it to the
torque in the Special Torque Requirements Tables in Part 1, Section V in the latest revision
of the Service Table of Limits - SSP-1776. If the clamp turns, remove it, clean it, and
examine it for cracks or distortions. Re-use or replace the clamp as necessary.
Before installing the V-band coupling on the engine, carefully clean the coupling area of the
exhaust transition and mating flange on the turbine side of the turbocharger.
C. Repeat the previous step for the V-band couplings that attach the exhaust bypass valve
(Figure 1).
D. Examine all flexible hoses in the induction system for brittleness which can be evidence of
wear. Replace worn hoses. Make sure all connections in the induction system are tight and do
not have any leaks (Figure 2).
E. Examine the wastegate linkage for freedom of movement. Lubricate the shaft and linkage.
F. Look for dirt or carbon build-up on the outside of the turbocharger. Remove the build-up per
the turbocharger manufacturer’s instructions. Identify and correct the cause.
G. Record all findings and any corrective action in the engine logbook and on the 50-Hour
Inspection Checklist.

A. Complete the “50-Hour Turbocharger Inspection” in this chapter.
B. Examine the turbochargers. Look for nicked or bent turbine blades and any damage from
objects. If any turbine blade is nicked, bent, or damaged, replace the turbocharger.
C. Examine all of the air ducts and connections for leaks. Look for leaks at the manifold
connections to the turbine inlet and at the exhaust manifold gasket. Identify and correct the
cause of any leaks.
D. Replace any leaky gaskets. Two gaskets are necessary at the exhaust port.

Compressor-to-Intercooler Connection

E. Make sure the torque on the mounting bolts that attach turbine side of the turbocharger and
transition assembly to the mounting bracket agree with the Standard Torque Tables in the
latest revision of the Service Table of Limits - SSP-1776.
NOTICE: The clearance at the turbine blade tip, measured as shown in Figure 3, identifies the
general condition of the turbocharger.
F. Remove the exhaust pipe from the turbine
discharge port and measure the clearance
between the turbine blades and housing.
G. Use a feeler gage to measure the space
between the impeller blades and the turbine
housing at intervals of 90° as shown in
Figure 3.
Figure 3
Discharge Port of Turbine Showing
Locations for Clearance Measurements
NOTICE: In the next step, do not insert the feeler gage more than 0.050 in. (1.270 mm).
For example: A + B +C +D = 0.064 + 0.120 + 0.053 + 0.081 = 0.318 /4= 0.0795 in. (2.032 mm)
H. Measure the maximum clearance between the housing and the blade tips in the four locations.
If the maximum clearance exceeds 0.120 in. (3.048 mm) at any point, replace the
turbocharger. Refer to the sections "Turbocharger Removal" and "Turbocharger Installation"
in this chapter.
A. Complete the “50-Hour Turbocharger Inspection” in this chapter.
B. Remove the turbocharger as per instructions in the section "Turbocharger Removal" in this
chapter.
C. Examine the turbocharger. Look for nicked or bent turbine blades and any damage from
objects. If any turbine blade is nicked, bent, or damaged, replace the turbocharger.
D. Look for dirt and carbon build-up and uneven deposits on the turbine wheel. Remove any
build-up per the turbocharger manufacturer’s instructions. Identify and correct the cause.
E. Examine the turbine wheels for Foreign Object Damage (FOD).
F. Turn the turbine wheel and make sure that it turns freely in the turbocharger. If the turbine
wheel does not turn freely, replace the turbocharger.
G. Examine the inside surface of the turbine housing for shiny areas on the rough exhaust
system deposits. Shiny areas are evidence that the wheel has come in contact with deposits.
Look for deposits in the turbine. Remove the deposits per the turbocharger manufacturer’s
instructions, identify and correct the cause.
H. Install the turbocharger as per instructions in the "Turbocharger Installation" section in this
chapter.

6. Spark Plug Fouling
A. Lead deposits can collect on the spark plug electrodes when the engine operates at lower-
than-specified temperatures with fuel-rich mixtures (fuel-rich mixtures do not enable
vaporization of lead in aviation gas). These deposits can cause misfiring.
B. Recommendations to prevent spark plug fouling:
• If the engine is approved for use with unleaded fuel per Appendix A in the TEO-540-A1A
Engine Installation and Operation Manual, use unleaded fuel after purging the fuel
system.
• Rotate top and bottom spark plugs every 100 operating hours or annually – refer to the
“Spark Plug Rotation” procedure in this chapter.
• Operate the engine between 1000 and 1200 rpm after engine start and during warm-up.
(At these speeds the spark plug core temperatures are sufficiently hot to activate the lead
scavenging agents to prevent lead deposits on the spark plugs and exhaust valve stems.)
• Operate the engine at the specified operating temperature to prevent low temperature
operation.
• Use oil cooler baffles to keep the oil temperature from decreasing during winter flight.
• Avoid rapid power reduction in flight to prevent sudden engine cooling.
• Do not stop the engine immediately after landing to prevent rapid engine cooling.
• Before engine shutdown, operate the engine between 1000 and 1200 rpm until operating
temperatures are stable and EGTs drop below 1100°F (593°C). Then increase engine
speed to 1800 rpm for 15 to 20 seconds. Then decrease engine speed to between 1000 and
1200 rpm before engine shutdown.

2. 50-Hour Exhaust System Inspection
NOTICE: Complete this inspection after every 50 hours of engine operation.
A. Examine the transition (Figure 3) and its gaskets and clamps as well as the slip joints (Figure
4) for cracks, and poor or loose fittings. Identify and correct any problems. Replace any
damaged, leaky gaskets.
NOTICE: Cracks can be caused by excessively high Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) or
Turbine Inlet Temperature (TIT). Identify the cause of high EGT or TIT temperature
if suspected. Exhaust gas temperature and turbine inlet temperature must not exceed
the maximum temperature limit during operation per Appendix A in the TEO-540-
A1A Engine Installation and Operation Manual.
B. Look for leaks in exhaust system connections and exhaust ports of cylinders. If exhaust
system leaks are suspected, look for paint burned off around spark plugs and exhaust flange
bosses. Also, look for light gray deposits on surfaces near the leak.
C. Examine the exhaust system for a powdery white to light brown or black residue which is
evidence of exhaust gas leakage. Identify and correct the cause of the leakage.
D. Torque any loosened gasketed flange assemblies in accordance with the Standard Torque
Tables in the latest revision of the Service Table of Limits - SSP-1776. Complete a check if
this tightening stopped the leak.
E. Look for loose heat shields. Tighten fasteners on loose heat shields.
F. Examine the exhaust manifolds for visible damage such as bulging, cracks, dents, residue and
overall general condition. Identify and correct all of the causes in accordance with the
airframe or exhaust manufacturer’s procedures.

CAUTION CRACKS AS WELL AS INCORRECT ASSEMBLY OR INSTALLATION OF
THE EXHAUST SYSTEM CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT ENGINE
OPERATION, OR RESULT IN THE RELEASE OF HOT TOXIC GASES
WHICH CAN CAUSE A FIRE AS WELL AS DAMAGE TO NEARBY
COMPONENTS.
A. Clean all exhaust pipes between exhaust manifold connections and at all slip joints with a
scuff pad. Remove all debris. Make sure the connecting/mating surfaces at slip joints are
clean and that there is no residual debris.
B. Examine all of the exhaust pipes and saddle welds for cracks, bulges, dents, damage, and
correct fit. Replace any component that is cracked, bulged, dented, damaged or does not fit
correctly.
C. Apply C5A Copper Based Anti-Seize or equivalent to the threads on the exhaust studs.
NOTICE: Beaded exhaust flange gaskets must be assembled (two each per exhaust port
flange) with their beads interlocking (Figure 8). The flat side of the gasket must face
toward the cylinder head and the raised or bead side, toward the exhaust stack.
(Refer to the latest revision of Service Instruction SI-1204 for exhaust flange gasket
information.)

NOTICE: After initial installation of a new beaded exhaust flange gasket, retorque the exhaust
flange nuts after the first 25-hours of engine operation to allow for permanent
seating of the beads. The beaded exhaust flange gasket cannot be reused. Replace
this beaded gasket with a new gasket after each removal.

circumference of exhaust pipes, between the exhaust manifold connection, and at all slip
joints (to minimize binding).
H. Refer to the photo or sketch done before disassembly to ensure correct assembly and
installation of the exhaust pipes.
CAUTION WHEN INSTALLING EXHAUST SYSTEM COMPONENTS, INITIALLY
TIGHTEN HARDWARE FASTENERS FINGER-TIGHT. DO NOT
TIGHTEN ANY PART OF THE EXHAUST SYSTEM BEFORE
PROCEEDING TO ANOTHER PART ON THE SAME SIDE OF THE
ENGINE.
I. Install exhaust system parts with hardware fasteners finger-tight to allow for adjustment in
the next step.
J. Align exhaust pipes in the correct configuration (per your photo or sketch) to enable
engagement of the slip joints at the same distance for each joint. If there is binding at a slip
joint or pipes at the V-band coupling are not aligned, loosen and re-install the components
until they align correctly.
CAUTION DURING REPLACEMENT OF ANY EXHAUST PIPE, ALL OF THE
FLANGE SURFACES MUST BE ACCURATELY ALIGNED. IF
CROSSOVER EXHAUST COMPONENTS ARE INCORRECTLY
ALIGNED, THEY CAN CAUSE TOO MUCH STRESS ON THE FLANGES
OF THE CROSSOVER EXHAUST PIPES AND CAUSE GAS LEAKAGE
AT SLIP JOINTS AND FLANGE JOINTS.
K. If there is a flared end of the exhaust pipe, install the flared end over the smaller end of the
connecting exhaust pipe.

CAUTION DURING V-BAND COUPLING INSTALLATION, USE CARE NOT TO

SPREAD OR FORCE THE COUPLING BEYOND ITS NORMAL OPEN
POSITION TO PREVENT DISTORTION OF THE COUPLING. THIS
DISTORTION CAN CAUSE AN INEFFECTIVE SEAL OR RUPTURE THE

Communications Bus Data

The CAN and RS232 bus provides data that can be displayed on a third-party display unit
compatible with CAN and R232 protocols. Current revisions of CAN and RS232 Specifications can
be obtained by contacting Lycoming Engines. These specifications include details, such as units,
data format, lists annunciator light colors and functions, and the wiring pin out and schematic from
the system. Hardwired annunciator lights are required to display warnings and cautions.
Not all data transmitted on the communications buses are useful to the pilot, but may be used to
record or view for maintenance or development. At the discretion of the aircraft manufacturer the
following data from directly measured parameters and discrete input system states are considered
valid for display to the pilot:
• Engine Oil Temperature (EOT) • Requested Power or Throttle Position (POR)

• Engine Oil Pressure (EOP) • Lamp Status
• Engine Speed (rpm) • ECU Supply Volts
• Manifold Pressure (MAP) • ECU Voltage Source
• Manifold Air Temperature (MAT) • Active Fault Count
• Deck Air Pressure (Deck P) • TLO Time Remaining
• Deck Air Temperature (Deck T) • Trip Time
• Fuel Rail Pressure (Fuel P) • Engine Hours (Tach Time)
• Fuel Rail Temperature (Fuel T) • Time Before Overhaul hours
• Fuel Pump Pressure (Fuel PP) • Software and Calibration Cyclic
• Fuel Filter Pressure Drop (FFPD) Redundancy Check (CRC)
• Compressor Inlet Pressure (CIP) • All Pre-Flight Test Related Messages
• All EGT values (EGTn) • Operating Mode
• All CHT values (CHTn) • Fault Messages
• Turbine Inlet Temperatures (TITn)
Data from calculated or indirect control parameters may be useful information during maintenance
or development, but do not have sufficient accuracy or usefulness to display to the pilot. Lycoming
considers the following parameters as reference only:
• Estimated Percent Power
• Air Mass Flow Rate
• Estimated Fuel Mass Flow Rate
• Estimated Fuel Volume Flow Rate
• All Validity Flags

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
The Troubleshooting Guide recommends corrective action for the fault codes to remove the root
cause which will ultimately enable the fault code to be cleared. In some instances, multiple related
fault codes can display if they have a common or associated root cause. In these cases, a logic fault
tree is given to help isolate the root cause.
WARNING ENGINE MOTORING AND OPERATION IS REQUIRED DURING
TROUBLESHOOTING. KEEP CLEAR OF THE ROTATIONAL RADIUS OF
THE PROPELLER TO PREVENT PERSONNEL INJURY OR DEATH.

above the minimum threshold level)
Troubleshooting Steps for Faults 40 thru 47
1. Run the engine in accordance with the engine and aircraft maintenance manuals. Is the fault active? If
yes, does the behavior of the engine correspond to the fault? This can be confirmed by checking the
aircraft CHT instrument. Is there an CHT reading on the instrument? If yes, is it within 50° of the other
cylinders? If yes, go to step 2. If the fault is not active, but the engine is not operating normally, or the
CHT is more than 50° cooler than the other cylinders, go to step 2. If the fault is not active, and there
are no other associated faults (as outlined in step 3), and the engine is operating normally, inspect
cabling and connections in accordance with the harness inspection in the engine maintenance manual.
2. Using the FST, download active and service fault logs.
3. Review logs to determine if there are any faults for the following sub-systems in the active or service
fault logs:
a. EGT
b. CHT
c. Ignition
d. Fuel Injector
If faults are found for steps 3a and/or 3b, perform steps 4 and 5, and 6. If faults are found for step 3c,
perform step 7 and 8. If faults found for step 3d, perform step 9.

Troubleshooting Steps for Faults 40 thru 47 (Cont.)

4. Inspect CHT and EGT sensors, and leads for any damage (eg…burned, broken or frayed wires, cracked
