OVERHAUL MANUAL- LYCOMING DIRECT DRIVE AIRCRAFT ENGINES Section 1
Introduction
SECTION 1.
INTRODUCTION
1-1. This manual contains the necessary information
for the major overhaul of the Avco Lycoming horizon-
tally installed direct drive engines. Unless otherwise
noted, all information and data in the manual will ap-
ply equally to all models; those portions of the text ap-
plying to any one particular model or series will be so
identified.
1-2. The main portion of the text is divided into sec-
tions corresponding to the basic engine components.
Additional sections are provided for general descrip-
tion, general overhaul and inspection procedures, pre-
servation and storage information, and other items of
a non-specific nature.
1-3. The tools required for overhauling the engines
(excludingthe ordinary mechanic's tools found inmost
overhaulshops) are listed inSSP-2172 SpecialService
Tools. Inspection gages are also listed in the same
section. Any special information required concerning
these tools may be obtained by writing to the Service
Department, Avco Lycoming Division, Williamsport,
Pennsylvania, 17701. When requesting information
concerninganyofthesetools, refer to thetool by name
and part number and not merely by name.
1-4. Parts catalogs, for specific models, may be or-
dered from the department listed in paragraph 1-3.
Because this manual covers the entire series of en-
gines, it is almost impossible to call out attaching
parts for specific models. Therefore, it is recom-
mended that the parts catalogs be used in conjunction
with the manual, when reassembling the engine.
1-5. Service bulletins, service instructions and service
letters are issued from time totime whenever the en-
gine is modified or overhaul procedures revised. When
received, these publications should be inserted in the
rear of this manual or maintained in a separate file for
ready reference.
1-6. The followingprocedure
should be followed if, for
any reason, parts are to be returned to the factory.
You may obtain from, but preferably have your dis-
tributor complete, the applicable warranty or rework
form. These
forms must include the engine model and
serial numbers, number of hours in service, the reason
for the parts being returned and any other pertinent
facts concerning the parts.
1-7. In this manualall references to locations of var-
ious components will be designated when viewing the
engine from the rear. The power take off end is con-
sideredthe front and the accessory drive end the rear.
The oil sump is considered the bottom. Cylinders are
numbered from front to rear with odd numbered cyl-
inders on the right side.
1-8. The direction of rotation of the crankshaft, as
viewed from the rear, is clockwise on all models with
the following exception. The direction of rotation of
the crankshaft, as viewed from the rear is counter-
clockwise on all models withthe letter L in the model
prefix. (Example - LIO-320-B1A). All references to
direction of rotation of the various accessory drives
are as viewed facing the accessory drive mounting pad.
