IMPORTANT
SAFETY NOTICE
Proper service and repair is essential to increase the safe, reliable
operation of all aircraft engines. The service procedures recommended
by Textron Lycoming are effective methods for performing service
operations. Some of these service operations require the use of tools
specially designed for the task. These special tools must be used when
and as recommended.
It is important to note that most Textron Lycoming publications contain various Warnings and Cautions which must be carefully read in
order to minimize the risk of personal injury or the use of improper service methods that may damage the engine or render it unsafe.
It is also important to understand that these Warnings and Cautions
are not all inclusive. Textron Lycoming could not possibly know,
evaluate or advise the service trade of all conceivable ways in which service might be done or of the possible hazardous consequences that may
be involved. Acordingly, anyone who uses a service procedure must first
satisfy themselves thoroughly that neither their safety nor aircraft safety will be jeopardized by the service procedure they select.

SECTION 1
SECTION 1
DESCRIPTION
The
Lycoming 0-235 series, 0-290-D series and 0-290-D2 series
engines are four cylinder, direct drive, horizontally opposed, wet sump,
air-cooled models.
In referring to the location of the various engine components,the parts
are described in their relationship to the engine as installed in conventional airframes. Thus the power take-off end is considered the front and
the accessory drive section the rear. The sump section is considered the
bottom and the opposite side of the engine where the shroud tubes are
located is the top. References to the left and right side of the engine are
made with the observer facing the rear of the engine. Thus the front
cylinder on the left bank is number 2 and the rear cylinder is number 4.
The front cylinder on the right bank is number 1 and the rear cylinder is
number 3. The direction of rotation for accessory drives is determined by
the observer facing the drive pad. The direction of rotation of the
crankshaft, viewed from the accessory end of the engine is clockwise.
Cylinders - The cylinders are of conventional air-cooled construction
with the two major parts, head and barrel, screwed and shrunk together.
The heads are made from an aluminum alloy casting with a fully machined combustion chamber. The barrels, which are machined from chrome
nickel molybdenum steel forgings with deep integral cooling fins, are
ground and honed to a specified finish.
The valve rocker shaft bearing supports and the rocker box housing
are cast integrally with the head. The valves are cooled by means of fins
which completely surround the area of the exhaust valve and portions of
the intake valves, Valve guides and valve seats are shrunk into machined recesses in the head.
Valve Operating Mechanism - The valve operating mechanism is located
on the top side. The camshaft is located parallel to and above the
crankshaft and operates in aluminum bearings. The camshaft in turn actuates the valves by means of tappets. The valve rockers are supported
on full floating, steel shafts. The valve springs bear against hardened
steel seats.
1-1
SECTION 1
NOTE
Hydraulic tappets which automatically keep the valve clearance at zero
are employed on the 0-290-D2 series engines while solid tappets are
employed on the 0-235and 0-290D series. Proper valve clearance on the
latter models is maintained by means of an adjusting screw located in
the valve rocker.
Crankshaft - Made from a chrome nickel molybdenum steel forging. All
bearing surfaces are nitride hardened. The expansion plug in the
crankshaft must be removed on those models employing a two position
hydro control or variable pitch propeller.
Crankcase - Crankcase assembly consists of two reinforced aluminum
alloy castings divided at the center line of the engine and fastened
together by bolts and nuts. The mating surfaces of the crankcase are
joined without the use of a gasket, and main bearing bores are machined
for use of precision type main bearing inserts.
Oil Sump - Incorporates an oil suction screen, carburetor mounting pad,
the intake riser and intake pipe connections. The fuel-air mixture, as it
passes through the riser, is vaporized by the heated oil that surrounds
the riser.
Connecting Rods - Made in the form of "H" sections from alloy steel
forgings. They have replaceable bearing inserts in the crankshaft ends
and split type bronze bushings in the piston ends. The bearing caps on
the crankshaft ends are retained by means of two bolts and nuts through
each cap.
Piston - Machined from an aluminum alloy. Two compression rings and
an oil regulating ring are employed on all pistons. In addition, the 0-235
series employs an oil scraper ring below the piston pin. The piston pin is
of the full floating type with a plug located at each end to prevent the pin
from touching the cylinder wall.
Accessory Housing - Made from an aluminum casting and is fastened to
the rear of the crankcase and the top rear of the oil sump. It forms a
housing for the oil pump and the various accessory drives.
Gears - Are of the conventional type and precision machined, hardened
to insure long life and satisfactory operating qualities.
0-235 AND 0-290 SERIES
SECTION 1
Cooling System -These engines are designed to be cooled by air pressure
actuated by the forward speed of the aircraft. Close fitting baffles build
up a pressure and force the air through the cylinder fins. The air is then
exhausted through gills or augmentor tubes usually located at the rear
of the cowling.
Lubrication System - The full pressure wet sump lubrication system is
actuated by an impeller type oil pump contained within the accessory
housing.
Induction System - These engines are equipped with either of two
Marvel-Schebler carburetors, MA-3A or MA-3SPA. See Table 1 for
model application. Both carburetors are of the single barrel float type
and are equipped with manual mixture control and "idle cut-off". Particularly good distribution of the fuel-air mixture to each cylinder is obtained from the center zone induction system, which is integral with the
sump and is submerged in oil, insuring a more uniform vaporization of
fuel and aiding in cooling the oil in the sump. From the riser the fuel-air
mixture is distributed to each cylinder by individual intake pipes.
Ignition System - Dual ignition is furnished by two magnetos. Consult
Table 1 for proper model application. Depending on installation the ignition wiring is so arranged as shown in either figure 5-1, 5-2 or 5-3.

SECTION 3
1. GENERAL. Close adherence to these instructions will greatly contribute to long life, economy and satisfactory operation of the engine.
NOTE
YOUR ATTENTION IS DIRECTED IN PARTICULAR TO THE
WARRANTIES
THAT APPEAR IN THE FRONT OF THIS
MANUAL
REGARDING
ENGINE
SPEED, THE USE OF
SPECIFIED
FUELS AND LUBRICANTS,
REPAIRS
AND
ALTERATIONS.
PERHAPS NO OTHER ITEM OF ENGINE
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE CONTRIBUTES QUITE SO
MUCH TO SATISFACTORY PERFORMANCE AND LONGLIFE AS
THE CONSTANT USE OF CORRECT GRADES OF FUEL AND OIL
CORRECT ENGINE TIMING, AND FLYING THE AIRPLANE AT
ALL TIMES WITHIN THE SPEED AND POWER RANGE
SPECIFIED FOR THE ENGINE. DO NOT FORGET THAT VIOLATION OF THE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE SPECIFICATIONS FOR YOUR ENGINE WILL NOT ONLY VOID YOUR WARRANTY BUT WILL SHORTEN THE LIFE OF YOUR ENGINE
AFTER ITS WARRANTY PERIOD HAS PASSED.
New engines have been carefully run-in by
Lycoming and
therefore no further break-in is necessary insofar as operation is concerned; however, new or newly overhauled engines should be operated using
only the lubricating oils recommended in the latest edition of Service Instruction No. 1014.
NOTE
Cruising should be done at 65% to 75%power until a total of 50 hours has
accumulated or oil consumption has stabilized. This is to insure proper
seating of the rings and is applicable to new engines, and engines in service following cylinder replacement or top overhaul at one of more
cylinders.
The minimum fuel octane rating is listed in the Flight Chart, Part 8 of
this section. Under no circumstances should fuel of a lower octane rating
or automotive (regardless of octane rating) be used.
3-1
SECTION 3
2. PRESTARTING ITEMS OF MAINTENANCE. Before starting the
aircraft engine for the first flight of the day, there are several items of
maintenance inspection that should be performed. These are described in
Section 4 under Daily Pre-Flight Inspection. They must be observed
before the engine is started.
3. STARTING
PROCEDURE.
a. Perform pre-flight inspection.
b. Head airplane into wind.
c. Lock wheels by either wheel brakes or chocks.
d. Set carburetor heat control in "cold" position.
e. Set propeller governor (if applicable) in "Full RPM" position.
f. Turn fuel valve to "on" position.
g. Set throttle at 1/4 travel.
h. Move mixture control to "Full Rich".
i. Turn boost pump on.
j. Pump throttle to full open and back to idle position for 2 to 3 strokes
for a cold engine. If engine is equipped with a priming system, cold
engine may be primed with 1 to 3 strokes of the priming pump.
k. Set magneto selector switch. Consult airframe manufacturer's
handbook for correct position.
1. Engage starter.
m. When engine fires, place magneto switch in "Both" position.
n. Check oil pressure gage. If oil pressure is not indicated within thirty
seconds, stop engine and determine trouble.
3-2
SECTION 3
4. COLD WEATHER STARTING. During extreme cold weather, it may
be necessary to preheat the engine and oil before starting.
5. GROUND RUNNING AND WARM-UP. Subject engines are air
pressure cooled and depend on the forward movement of the aircraft to
maintain proper cooling. Particular care is necessary, therefore, when
operating these engines on the ground. To prevent overheating, it is
recommended that the following procedures be observed.
NOTE
Any ground check that requires full throttle operation must be limited to
three minutes, or less if the indicated cylinder head temperature exceeds
the maximum as stated in this manual
a. Head the aircraft into the wind.
b. If a controllable pitch propeller is installed, operated the engine on
the ground only with the propeller in minimum blade angle setting.
c. Leave the mixture control in "Full Rich".
d. Avoid prolonged idling at low RPM as this practice may result in
fouled plugs. Limit ground running to minimum time necessary to
warm engine for take-off.
e. Use of the carburetor air heat on the ground must be held to an absolute minimum. On some installations the air does not pass through
the air filter and dirt and foreign substances can be taken into the
engine with the resultant cylinder and piston ring wear. Carburetor air
heat should be used on the ground only to make certain it is functioning properly.
6. CHECKS BEFORE TAKE-OFF.
a. Warm up as directed above.
b. Check both oil temperature and oil pressure.
c. Set carburetor air heat control for "full heat" to check operation.
Loss of manifold pressure or RPM (or both), depending on whether a
fixed pitch or controllable pitch propeller is installed on the aircraft,
will result if the control is working properly. Return control to "cold"
position after check.
3-3
SECTION 3
d. A proper magneto check is important. Additional factors, other then
the ignition system, affect magneto drop-off. They are, load-power
output, propeller pitch and mixture strength. The important thing is
that the engine runs smoothly because drop-off is affected by the
variables listed above. Make the magneto check in accordance with the
following procedures:
(1) Controllable Pitch Propeller - With propeller in minimum pitch
angle, set the engine to produce 50 to 65% power as indicated by the
manifold pressure gage. Mixture control should be in the full rich
position. At these settings the ignition system and spark plugs must
work harder because of the greater pressure within the cylinders.
Under these conditions, ignition problems, if they exist, will occur.
Magneto checks at low power settings will only indicate fuel-air
distribution quality.
NOTE
Aircraft that are equipped with fixd pitch propellers, or not equipped
with manifold pressure gage, may check magneto drop-off with engine
operating at approximately 1800 RPM (2000RPM maximum).
(2) Switch from both magnetos to one and note drop-off, return to
both until engine regains speed and switch to the other magneto and
note drop-off, then return to both. Drop-off should not exceed 175
and should not exceed 50 RPM difference between magnetos. A
smooth drop-off past normal is usually a sign of a too lean or too rich
mixture.
(3) Do not operate on a single magneto for too long a period, 2 to 3
seconds is usually sufficient to check drop-off and will minimize plug
fouling.
7. OPERATION IN FLIGHT.
A. See airframe manufacturer's
pressure for power settings.
instructions for correct manifold
B. Fuel Mixture Leaning Procedure - Improper fuel-air mixture during
flight is responsible for many engine problems, particularly during
take-off and climb power settings. The procedures described in this
manual provide proper fuel-air mixture when leaning Avco Lycoming
engines, they have proven to be both economical and practical by
eliminating excessive fuel consumption and reducing damaged parts
replacement. It is therefore recommended that operators of all Avco
SECTION 3
Lycoming aircraft powerplants utilize the instructions in this publication any time the fuel-air mixture is adjusted during flight.
LEANING PRECAUTIONS
Never exceed the maximum red line cylinder head temperature limit.
For continuous operation cylinder head temperatures should be maintained below 435°F. (224°C.).
On direct drive engines with manual mixture control maintain mixture
control in "Full Rich" position for rated take-off rated maxmimum continuous, climb and cruise powers above 75%. However, during take-off
from high elevation airport or during climb, roughness or loss of power
may result from over-richness. In such a case adjust mixture control only
enough to obtain smooth operation - not for economy. Observe instruments for temperature rise. Rough operation due to over-rich fuel-air
mixture is most likely to be encountered at altitude above 5,000 feet.
Always enrich mixture before increasing power.
C. LEANING TO EXHAUST GAS TEMPERATURE
GAGE.
(1) Above 75%power -Never lean beyond 150°F. on rich side of peak
EGT unless aircraft operator's manual shows otherwise. Monitor
cylinder head temperature.
(2) 75% power and below - Operate at peak EGT.
D. LEANING WITH MANUAL MIXTURE CONTROL. (At 75%
power or less without flowmeter or EGT gage.)
(1) Slowly move mixture control from "Full Rich" position toward
lean position.
(2) Continue leaning until engine roughness is noted.
(3) Enrich until engine runs smoothly and power is regained.
E. ALTERNATE METHOD. (In calm air and engines with fixed pitch
propellers.)
(1) Slowly move mixture control toward lean position while closely
watching tachometer. Continue leaning until RPM decreases.
(2) At this point enrich until RPM just peaks. Correct fuel-air ratio
is obtained at this point.
3-5
SECTION 3
NOTE
Leaning may be done at any altitude that the engine will accept leaning:
The greater the altitude the more important leaning becomes. Proper
leaning is important because more engine power and increased air speed
are obtained along with decreased fuel consumption, longer spark plug
life, less lead fouling, and more normal oil and cylinder head
temperatures. Engine damage from leaning the mixture does not occur
at the specified cruise power for the model engine in a basically healthy
power plant, but is the result of improper leaning atpower settings above
recommended cruise.
F. Use of Carburetor Heat Control - Under certain moist atmospheric
conditions, it is possible for ice to form in the induction system even in
summer weather. This is due to the high air velocity through the carburetor venturi and the absorption of heat from this air by
evaporization of the fuel. The temperature in the mixture chamber
may drop 20°F. to 70°F. below the temperature of the incoming air. If
this air contains a large amount of moisture, the cooling process will
cause precipitation in the form of ice. These ice formations generally
begin in the vicinity of the butterfly and will often build up to such an
extent that a drop in manifold power output results. This loss of power
is reflected by a drop in manifold pressure in installations equipped
with constant speed propellers and a drop in manifold pressure and
RPM in installations equipped with fixed pitch propellers. If not
detected, this condition will continue to such an extent that the
reduced power will cause complete engine stoppage.
To avoid this condition, all installations are equipped with a system
for preheating the incoming air supply to the carburetor. In this way,
sufficient heat is added to replace the heat loss to vaporization of fuel,
and the mixing chamber's temperature cannot drop to the freezing
point of water. This air preheater is essentially a tube or jacket
through which the exhaust pipe from one or more cylinders is passed,
and the air flowing over these surfaces is raised to the required
temperature before entering the carburetor. Consistently high
temperatures are to be avoided because of a loss of power and a
decided variation of the mixture. High charge temperatures also favor
detonation and preignition, both of which are to be avoided if normal
service life is to be expected from the engine. The following outline is
the proper method of utilizing the carburetor heat control.
SECTION 3
(1) Take-Off- Take-off should be made with carburetor heat in full
cold position. The possibility of icing at wide throttle opening is very
remote.
(2)Flight Operation - The carburetor air heat control should be left in
the cold position during normal flight operations. On damp, cloudy,
foggy or hazy days, regardless of outside temperature, keep a sharp
lookout for loss of power. This loss of power will be shown by unaccountable loss in manifold pressure or RPM or both, depending on
whether a constant speed or fixed pitch propeller is installed on the
aircraft. When this situation arises, apply full carburetor air heat
and open the throttle to limiting manifold pressure. This will result
in a slight additional drop in manifold pressure which is normal and
this drop will be regained as the ice is melted out of the induction
system. When the ice has been melted from the induction system,
the carburetor heat control should be returned to the cold position.
In those aircraft equipped with a carburetor air temperature gage,
partial heat may be used to keep the mixture temperature above the
freezing point (32°F.).
WARNING
Caution must be exercised when operating with partial heat on aircraft
that do not have a carburetor air temperature gage. Moisture in crystal
form that would ordinarily pass through the induction system, can be
raised in temperature by use of partial heat to the point where the
crystals are melted into liquid form. This moisture can form carburetor
ice due to the temperature drop as it passes through the venturi of the
carburetor. It is advisable, therefore, to use either full heat or no heat in
aircraft that are not equipped with a carburetor air temperature gage.
(3) Landing Approach - In making an approach for a landing, carburetor air heat should usually be in the "Full Cold" position.
However, if icing conditions are known or suspected, then "Full
Heat" should be applied. In the case that full power need be applied
under these conditions, as for an aborted landing, the carburetor
heat should be returned to "Full Cold" prior to power application.

The following is an example of how to use the Sea Level and Altitude
Performance curves, printed on these pages, to determine actual
horsepower being delivered by the engine for given altitude, RPM,
manifold pressure and air inlet temperature. This example (using figures
from curve on opposite page) is for illustration purposes only.

5. Read horsepower on line "CA" for given altitude (Example - At 1800
feet with a power setting of 2400 RPM and 23.8 in. Hg., horsepower is
99.5, Point "D").
6. Correct power approximately 1% for each 10°F. variation in intake

PERIODIC INSPECTION
NOTE
Perhaps no other factor is quite so important to safety and durability of
the aircraft and its components as faithful and diligent attention to
regular checks for minor troubles and prompt repair when they are
found.
The operator should bear in mind that the items listed in the following
pages do not constitute a complete aircraft inspection, but are meant for
the engine only. Consult the airframe manufacturer's handbook for addition instructions.
Pre-Starting Inspection - The daily pre-flight inspection is a check of the
aircraft prior to the first flight of the day. This inspection is to determine
the general condition of the aircraft and engine.
The importance of proper pre-flight inspection cannot be over emphasize. Statistics prove several hundred accidents occur yearly directly
responsible to poor pre-flight.
Among the major causes of poor pre-flight inspection are lack of concentration, reluctance to acknowledge the need for a check list,
carelessness bred by familiarity and haste.
4-1
SECTION 4
1. DAILY PRE-FLIGHT.
a. Be sure all switches are in the "Off" position.
b. Be sure magneto ground wires are connected.
c. Check oil level.
d. See that fuel tanks are full.
e. Check fuel and oil line connections, note minor indications for repair
at 50 hour inspection. Repair any major leaks before aircraft is flown.
f. Open the fuel drain to remove any accumulation of water and sediment.
g. Make sure all shields and cowling are in place and secure. If any are
missing or damaged, repair or replacement should be made before the
aircraft is flown.
h. Check controls for general condition, travel and freedom of operation.
i. Induction system air filter should be inspected and serviced in accordance with the airframe manufacturer's recommendations.
2. 25-HOUR INSPECTION. After the first twenty-five hours operating
time, new, remanufactured or newly overhauled engines should undergo
a 50 hour inspection including draining and renewing lubricating oil.
3. 50-HOUR INSPECTION. In addition to the items listed for daily preflight inspection, the following maintenance checks should be made after
every 50 hours of operation.
a. Ignition System - Remove spark plugs; test, clean and regap.
Replace if necessary.
Examine spark plug leads of cable and ceramics for corrosion and
deposits. This condition is evidence of either leaking spark plugs, improper cleaning of the spark plug walls or connector ends. Where this
condition is found, clean the cable ends, spark plug walls and ceramics
with a dry, clean cloth or a clean cloth moistened with methyl-ethyl
ketone. All parts should be clean and dry before reassembly.
Check ignition harness for security of mounting clamps and be sure
connections are tight at spark plug and magneto terminals.
4-2
SECTION4
b. Fuel and Induction System - Check primer lines for leaks and
security of clamps. Drain carburetor and clean carburetor fuel
strainer. Check mixture control and throttle linkage for travel,
freedom of movement, security of clamps and lubricate if necessary
Check carburetor air intake ducts for leaks, security, filter damage;
evidence of dust or other solid material in the ducts is indicative of
inadequate filter care or damaged filter. Check vent lines for evidence
of filter or oil seepage; if present, fuel pump may require replacement.
c. Lubrication System - Check oil lines for leaks, particularly at connections; for security of anchorage and for wear due to rubbing or
vibration, for dents and cracks.
Drain and refill sump with new oil on installation not employing
replaceable external oil filter. See the latest revision to Service Instruction No. 1014 for recommended lubricating oils. Seasonal grades
are listed in Section 3, Paragraph 8 of this manual.
Remove oil suction and oil pressure screens and clean thoroughly.
Note carefully for presence of metal particles that are indicative of
internal engine damage.
If engine is equipped with external oil filters, replace at this time.
Before disposing of filter, check interior for traces of metal particles
that might be evidence of internal engine damage.
d. Exhaust System - Check attaching flanges at exhaust ports on
cylinders for evidence of leakage. If they are loose, they must be
removed and machined flat before they are reassembled and tightened.
Examine exhaust manifolds for general condition.
e. Cooling System - Check cowling for damage and secure anchorage.
Any damaged or missing part of the cooling system must be repaired
or replaced before the aircraft resumes operation.
f. Cylinders - Check rocker box covers for evidence of oil leaks. If
found, replace gasket and tighten screws to specified torque (50 inch
pounds).
Check cylinders for evidence of excessive heat which is indicated by
burned paint on the cylinder. This condition is indicative of internal
damage to the cylinder and, if found, its cause must be determined and
corrected before the aircraft resumes operation.
4-3
SECTION 4
Heavy discoloration and appearance of seepage at the cylinder head
and barrel attachment area is usually due to emission of thread lubricant used during assembly of the barrel at the factory, or by slight gas
leakage which stops after cylinder has been in service for awhile. This
condition is neither harmful nor detrimental to the engine performance
and operation. If it can be proven that the leakage exceeds these conditions, the cylinder should be replaced.
4. 100-HOUR INSPECTION. In addition to the items listed for daily
pre-flight and 50 hour inspection the following maintenance checks
shouldbe made after every one hundred hours of operation.
a. Electrical System - Check all wiring connected to the engine or accessories. Any shielded cables that are damaged should be replaced.
Replace faulty clamps or loose wires and check terminals for security
and cleanliness.
b. Magnetos - Check condition of breakers points. Check for excessive
oil in the breaker compartment, if found, wipe dry with a clean lintless
cloth. The felt located at the breaker points should be lubricated in
accordance with the magneto manufacturer's instructions. Check
magneto to engine timing. Timing procedure is described in Section 5,
Paragraph lb of this manual.
c. Engine Accessories - Engine mounted accessories such as pumps,
temperature and pressure sensing units should be checked for secure
mounting, tight connections and terminals.
d Cylinders - Check visually for cracked or broken fins.
e. Engine Mounts - Check engine mounting bolts and bushings for
security and excessive wear. Replace any bushings that are excessively worn.
f Primer Nozzles - Disconnect primer nozzles from engine and check
for equal flow.
g. Valve Rockers (0-235and 0-290-D)- Check clearance. See Page 5-15,
Paragraph 11 for valve rocker clearance.
h. Carburetor - Check throttle body attaching screws for tightness.
The correct torque for these screws is 40 to 50 inch pounds.
4-4
SECTION4
i. Lubrication System - Drain and renew lubrication oil. Replace oil
filter.
5. 400-HOUR INSPECTION. In addition to the items listed for daily
pre-flight, 50 hour and 100 hour inspections, the following maintenance
check should be made after every 400 hours of operation.
Valve Inspection - Remove rocker box covers and check for freedom of
valve rockers when valves are closed. Look for evidence of abnormal
wear or broken parts in the area of the valve tips, valve keeper, springs
and spring seat. If any indications are found, the cylinder and all of its
components should be removed (including the piston and connecting rod
assembly) and inspected for further damage. Replace any parts that do
not conform with limits shown in the latest publication of Special Ser-
vice Publication No. SSP1776.
6. NON-SCHEDULED INSPECTIONS. Occasionally, service bulletins
or service instructions are issued by Avco Lycoming Division that require inspection procedures that are not listed in this manual. Such
publications, usually are limited to specified engine models and become
obsolete after corrective modification has been accomplished. All such
publications are available from Avco ,ycoming distributors, or from the
factory by subscription. Consult Service Letter No. L114 for subscription information. Maintenance facilities should have an up-to-date file of
these publications available at all times.

MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
The procedures described in this section are provided to guide and instruct personnel in performing such maintenance operations that may be
required in conjunction with the periodic inspections listed in the
preceding section. No attempt is made to include repair and replacement
operations that will be found in the applicable Avco Lycoming Overhaul
Manual.
1. IGNITION AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.
a. Ignition Harness and Wire Replacement - In the event that an ignition harness or an individual lead is to be replaced, consult the wiring diagram to be sure harness is correctly installed. Mark location of
clamps and clips to be certain the replacement is clamped at correct
locations.
b. Timing Magnetos to Engine - Although several combinations of
magnetos are used on this series engines, (see Table of Models for
model application) the timing procedures, in the following paragraphs,
are the same for all magnetos.
NOTE
Either the impulse coupling or retard breaker magneto (whichever is applicable) is installed on the left side of the engine.
(1) Remove a spark plug from No. 1 cylinder and place a thumb over
the spark plug hole. Rotate the crankshaft in direction of normal
rotation until the compression stroke is reached, this is indicated by
a positive pressure inside the cylinder tending to push the thumb off
the spark plug hole. Continue rotating the crankshaft in direction of
normal rotation until the advance timing mark on the front face of
the starter ring gear is in exact alignment with the small hole located
at the two o'clock position on the front face of the starter housing.
Consult specification for correct timing mark for your installation.
At this point, the engine is ready for assembly of the magnetos.

SECTION 5
All timing procedures, except positioning the magneto in the number
one cylinder advance engine firing position, are the same for all
magnetos.
The method of positioning the Slick magnetos in the number one
cylinder advance engine firing position is contained in the following
paragraphs. The method for Bendix magnetos may be found on page 5-6.
(Impulse Coupling Magneto) Hold the No. 1 lead wire spring 1/16 in. to
1/8 in. away from the magneto frame and turn the impulse coupling one
click at a time until a strong spark jumps between the spring and the
frame. Hold the magneto firmly so the coupling will not move beyond
the point where it trips and the spark occurs. Reverse the rotation approximately 25 until the timing pin hole appears in the center of the
vent plug hole. Hold the rotor by inserting the timing pin, and line the
timing pin with the center of the vent plug hole.
(Conventional Magneto) Hold the No. 1 lead wire spring 1/8 in. away
from the frame. Turn the gear counter-clockwise vigorously through the
flux lines until a strong spark occurs at the lead. Reverse the rotation into the flux until the timing pin hole appears in the center of the vent plug
hole and insert the timing pin into the hole.
5-5
SECTION5
NOTE
If the crankshaft is accidently turned in the direction opposite normal
rotation, repeat the above procedure as accumulated backlash will make
the final timing incorrect.
(2) Remove the inspection plugs from both magnetos and turn the
drive shafts in direction of normal rotation until the first painted
chamfered tooth on the distributor gear is aligned in the center of
the inspection window. Being sure that the gear does not move from
this position, install gaskets and magnetos on the engine. Secure
with washers and nuts; tighten only finger tight.
NOTE
In order to turn the shaft on an impulse coupling magneto, depress the
pawl on the impulse coupling with the finger.
(3) Using a battery powered timing light, attach the positive lead to
a suitable terminal connected to the ground terminal of the magneto
and the negative lead to any unpainted portion of the engine. Rotate
the magneto in its mounting flange to a point where the light comes
on, then slowly turn it in the opposite direction until the light goes
out. Bring the magneto back slowly until the light just comes on.
Repeat this with the second magneto.
NOTE
Some timing lights operate in the reverse manner as described above, the
light comes on when the breaker points open. Check your timing light instructions.
(4) After both magnetos have been timed, check, as described below,
to ascertain that both magnetos are set to fire simutaneously.
(5) Back off the crankshaft a few degrees, the timing lights should go
out. Bring the crankshaft slowly back in direction of normal rotation
until the timing mark and the hole in the starter housing are in
alignment. At this point, both lights should go on simultaneously.
Tighten nuts to specified torque (150 inch pounds).
c. Generator or Alternator Output - The generator or alternator
(whichever is applicable) should be checked to determine that the
specified voltage and current are being obtained.
SECTION 5
2. FUEL SYSTEM.
a. Repair of Fuel Leaks - In the event a line or fitting in the fuel system
is replaced, only a fuel soluable lubricant, such as clean engine oil or
Loctite Hydraulic Sealant, may be used on the threads. Any other
thread lubricant or compound must not be used.
b. Carburetor Inlet Screen Assembly - Remove and check the screen for
distortion or openings in the strainer. Replace for either of these conditions. Clean assembly in solvent and dry with compressed air. To install the screen asembly, place the gasket on the assembly and install
in the throttle body, then tighten to 35 - 40 inch pounds torque.
c. Fuel Grades and Limitations -The recommended aviation grade for
subject engines is listed in the Engine Flight Chart on page 3-8 of this
manual. In the event that the specified fuel is not available at some
locations, it is permissible to use higher octane fuel. Fuel of a lower
octane then specified is not to be used. Under no circumstances should
automotive fuel be used (regardless of octane rating).
NOTE
These engines are equipped with solid stem valves and should use higher
octane fuel only for limited operation. It is recommended that personnel
be familiar with Service Instruction No. 1070 regarding specified fuel for
Avco Lycoming engines.
d Air Intake Ducts and Filter - Check all air intake ducts for dirt or
restrictions. Inspect and service air filters as instructed in the airframe manufacturer's handbook.
e. Idle Speed and Mixture Adjustment (1) Start the engine and warm up in the usual manner until oil and
cylinder head temperatures are normal.
(2) Check magnetos. If the "mag-drop" is normal, proceed with idle
adjustment.
(3) Set throttle stop screw so that the engine idles at the airframe
manufacturer's recommended idling RPM. If the RPM changes
appreciably after making idle mixture adjustment during the succeeding steps, readjust the idle speed.
SECTION5
(4) When the idling speed has been stabilized, move the cockpit
mixture control lever with smooth, steady pull toward the "Idle CutOff" position and observe the tachometer for any change during the
leaning process. Caution must be exercised to return the mixture
control to the "Full Rich" position before the RPM can drop to a
point where the engine cuts out. An increase of more than 50 RPM
while "leaning" out indicates an excessively rich idle mixture. An
immediate decrease in RPM (if not preceded by a momentary increase) indicates the idle mixture is too lean.
If the above indicates that the idle adjustment is too rich or too
lean, turn the idle mixture adjustment in the direction required for
correction, and check this new position by repeating the above
procedure. Make additional adjustments as necessary until a check
results in a momentary pick-up of approximately 50 RPM. Each
time the adjustment is changed, the engine should be run up to 2000
RPM to clear the engine before proceeding with the RPM check.
Make the final adjustment of the idle speed adjustment to obtain
the desired idling RPM with closed throttle. The above method aims
at a setting that will obtain maximum RPM with minimum manifold
pressure. In case the setting does not remain stable, check the idle
linkage; any looseness in this linkage would cause erratic idling. In
all cases, allowance should be made for the effect of weather conditions and field altitude upon idling adjustment.
3. LUBRICATION SYSTEM.
a. Oil Grades and Limitations - Service the engine with grade recommended in Flight Chart, Section 3-8.
b. Oil Sump Capacity -
0-235 Series ..................................
0-290-Dand -D2 Series ..........................
Minimum Safe Quantity in Sump .................
6 U.S. Quarts
8 U.S. Quarts
2 U.S. Quarts
c. Oil Suction and Oil Pressure Screens. For engines without a full-flow
oil filter, change oil and inspect and clean screens every 25 hours.
NOTE
On installations employing full-flow oil filters, step c. is not practical at
this time, but should be observed at the 100 hour inspection.
5-8
SECTION 5
c. Oil Relief Valve - Subject engines are equipped with either an adjustable or a non-adjustable oil relief valve located in the right
crankcase half to the rear of no. 3 cylinder pad. The adjustable valve
will maintain the oil pressure within specified limits by screwing the
adjusting screw inward to increase pressure and outward to decrease
pressure. The non-adjustable valve can control pressure by the addition of a maximum of nine STD-425 washers under the cap to increase
pressure or a spacer (P/N 73629 or 73630) under the cap to decrease
pressure.
d Oil Relief Valve (Adjustable) - The adjustable oil relief valve enables
the operator to maintain engine oil pressure within the specified limits.
If the pressure under normal operating conditions should consistently
exceed the maximum or minimum specified limits, adjust the valve as
follows:
With the engine warmed up and running at approximately 2000
RPM, observe the reading on the oil pressure gage. If the pressure is
above maximum or below minimum specified limits, stop engine and
screw the adjusting screw out to decrease pressure and in to increase
pressure. Depending on installation, the adjusting screw may have only a screw driver slot and is turned with a screw driver; or may have
the screw driver slot plus a pinned .375-24 castellated nut and may be
turned with either a screw driver or a box wrench.
4. CYLINDER ASSEMBLY. Although the complete procedure for
disassembly and reassembly is given here, it is recommended that, as a
field operation, cylinder maintenance be confined to replacement of the
entire assembly. Valve replacement should be undertaken only as an
emergency measure.
a. Removal of Cylinder Assembly (1) Remove exhaust manifold.
(2) Remove rocker box drain tube, intake pipe, priming lines and any
clips that interfere with the removal of cylinder.
SECTION 5
(3) Disconnect ignition cable at spark plugs and remove spark plugs.
Remove rocker box cover and rotate crankshaft until piston is
approximately at top center of the compression stroke.
(4) Remove valve rockers by sliding the valve rocker shaft aside
enabling the valve rockers to be removed. Valve rocker shaft can be
removed when the cylinder is taken from the engine.
(5) Remove push rods by grasping the ball end and pulling rod out of
shroud tube.
(6) Remove cylinder base nuts and pull cylinder directly away from
the crankcase. Do not allow the piston to drop against the crankcase
as the piston leaves the cylinder. Hold shroud tubes to prevent their
falling.
NOTE
The tappets, push rods, rocker arms and valves must be identified so
that they can be assembled in the same location from which they were
removed.
b. Removal of Valves and Valve Springs from Cylinder - Place the
cylinder over a block of wood so as to hold the valves in a closed position. Compress the valve springs using the valve spring compressor.
Remove the split keys from the end of the valve stem. The valve springs and valve spring seats may now be removed from the cylinder
head. Hold the valve stems so that the valve will not fall out and
remove the cylinder from the holding block. The valves may now be
removed from the inside of the cylinder.
c. Removal of Piston from Connecting Rod - Remove the piston pin
plugs. Insert piston pin puller through piston pin, assemble puller nut;
then proceed to remove piston pin. Do not allow connecting rod to rest
on cylinder pad of the crankcase. Support with heavy rubber bands,
discarded cylinder base oil ring seals or any other method.
5-10
SECTION 5
d Removal of Hydraulic Tappet Sockets and Plunger Assemblies (0-290-D2 Series) It will be necessary to remove and bleed the
hydraulic tappet plunger assembly so that dry tappet clearance can be
checked when the cylinder assembly is reinstalled. This is accomplished in the following manner: A special Avco Lycoming tool is available
for removal of the sockets and plunger assemblies. In the event the
tool is not available, proceed as described below.
The hydraulic tappet socket may usually be removed by inserting
the forefinger into the concave end of the socket. The socket will usually stick to the finger firmly enough to be pulled out of the tappet body.
If the socket cannot be removed in this manner, it may be removed by
grasping the edge of the socket with a pair of needle nose pliers.
However, care must be exercised to avoid scratching the socket. To
remove the hydraulic tappet plunger assembly, use special Avco
Lycoming service tool. In the event that the tool is not available, the
hydraulic tappet plunger assembly may be removed by bending a hook
in the end of a short piece of lockwire, inserting the lockwire around
the edge of the plunger assembly, and turning the wire so that the
hook engages the spring of the plunger assembly. Draw the plunger
assembly out of the tappet body by gently pulling the wire.
CA UTION
Never use a magnet to remove hydraulic plunger assemlies from the
crankcase. This can cause the check ball to remain off its seat rendering
the unit inoperative.
e. Assembly of Valves in Cylinder - Prelubricate valve stems with
Molytex Grease 0 or equivalent and insert each valve stem in its
respective valve guide. Place cylinder over a block of wood so that the
valves are held against the seats and assemble the lower valve spring
seat, auxiliary valve seat and outer valve spring over the valve stem
and guide. Place the upper valve spring seat on top of the springs.
NOTE
When installing valve springs, place the dampener end of spring (close
wound coils marked with dye or lacquer) toward the cylinder.
SECTION 5
Using a valve spring compressor, compress the valve springs and
place the split keys in the groove around the upper end of the valve
stem. Slowly release the pressure on the valve spring compressor and
allow the upper spring seat to lock itself in place around the valve
keys.
f Assembly of Hydraulic Tappet Plunger Assemblies - (0-290-D2
Series) To assemble the unit, unseat the ball by inserting a thin clean
bronze wire through the oil inlet hole. With the ball off its seat, insert
the plunger and twist clockwise so that the spring catches.
g. Assembly of Cylinder and Related Parts - Rotate the crankshaft so
that the connecting rod of the cylinder being assembled is at the top
center position with both tappets on the low side of the cam in a position that corresponds with both valve closed.
(1) 0-290-D2Series - Place each hydraulic tappet plunger assembly in
its respective body and assembly socket on top of plunger assembly.
(2) Assemble piston so that the cylinder number stamped on the
piston pin boss is toward the front end of the engine. The piston pin
should be a push fit. If difficulty is experienced in inserting the
piston pin, it is probably caused by carbon or burrs in the piston pin
hole. During assembly, always use a generous amount of oil, both in
the piston pin hole and on the piston pin.
(3) Assemble one piston pin plug at each end of the piston pin and
place a new cylinder base oil seal ring around the cylinder skirt. Coat
piston, rings and the inside of the cylinder generously with oil.
(4) Using a piston ring compressor, assemble the cylinder over the
piston so that the intake and exhaust ports are toward the bottom of
the engine.
(5) Push the cylinder down onto the cylinder mounting studs.
(6) Insert a new shroud tube oil seal over each end of shroud tube.
(7) Pull the cylinder back far enough to insert one end of each shroud
tube into position in the cylinder head, and hold shroud tube so that
rubber seals will enter the seal seats in the crankcase. Push the
cylinder all the way down.
SECTION 5
NOTE
Before installing cylinder base hold down nuts, lubricate the crankcase
thru-stud threads with any one of the following lubricants.
1. 90% SAE 50W engine oil and 10% STP.
2. Parker Thread Lube.
3. 60% SAE 30W engine oil and 40% Parker Thread Lube.
(8) Assemble the cylinder base hold down nuts and tighten as
directed in the following steps.
NOTE
At anytime a cylinder is replaced, it is necessary to retorque the thrustuds on the cylinder on the opposite side of the engine.
(a) Tighten the 1/2 inch or 7/16 inch hold down nuts to 300 inch
pounds (25 foot pounds) torque in the following sequence: Begin
with the upper right hand nut and proceed in a clockwise direction.
(b) Repeat the above steps and tighten the 1/2 inch hold down nuts
to 600 inch pounds (50 foot pounds) or 7/16 inch hold down nuts to
420 inch pounds (35 foot pounds) torque using the exact sequence
stated.
(c) Tighten the 3/8 inch hold down nuts to 300 inch pounds (25 foot
pounds) torque; sequence of tightening is optional.
NOTE
Some 0-235 Series engines employ only 3/8 inch hold down nuts. Tighten
these nuts to 300 inch pounds (25 foot pounds) torque using the tightening sequence stated in step (a).
(d) As a final check hold the torque wrench on each nut for about
five seconds. If the nut does not turn, it may be presumed to be
tightened to the correct torque.
5-13
SECTION 5
CAUTION
After all cylinder base nuts have been tightened remove any nicks in the
cylinder fins by filing or burring.
(9) Assemble each push rod in its respective shroud tube, and
assemble each rocker in its respective position by placing rocker
between bosses and sliding valve rocker shaft in place to retain
rocker.
(10) 0-290-D2Series - Be sure that the piston is at top center compression stroke and that both valves are closed. Check clearance between the valve stem tip and the valve rocker. In order to check this
clearance, place the thumb of one hand on the valve rocker directly
over the end of the push rod and push down so as to compress the
hydraulic tappet spring. While holding the spring compressed,
check valve clearance, which should be between .028 and .080 inch.
If the clearance does not come within these limits, remove the push
rod and insert a longer or shorter push rod, as required to correct
clearance.
NOTE
Inserting a long rod will cause a decrease in valve clearance.
(11) 0-235, 0-290D Series - Be sure that the piston is at top center
compression stroke and that both valves are closed. Assemble
adjusting screw in valve rockers and using clearance gage adjust the
clearance between the valve tip and valve rocker. Adjust in the
following manner:
Set tappets with .007 in. - .009 in. clearance cold. Recheck tappet
clearance after run-in, clearance should be from .006 in. to .012 in.
After adjusting, lock the adjusting screw in place with the locknut.
(12)All Engines - Install gaskets and rocker box covers, intake pipes,
drain tubes and exhaust manifold. Install spark plugs and ignition
harness.
5. GENERATOR DRIVE BELT TENSION. Check the tension of a new
belt 25 hours after installation. Refer to Service Instruction No. 1129 for
methods of checking generator drive belt tension.

SECTION 7
SECTION 7
1. PREPARATION OF ENGINE FOR INSTALLATION. Before installing an engine that has been prepared for storage, remove all
dehydrator plugs, bags of dessicant and preservative oil from the engine.
Preservation oil can be removed by removing the bottom spark plugs
and turning the crankshaft three or four revolutions by hand. The
preservative oil will then drain through the spark plug holes. Draining
will be facilitated if the engine is tilted from side to side during the above
operation. Preservative oil which has accumulated in the sump can be
drained by removing the oil sump plug. Engines that have been stored in
a cold place should be removed to an environment of at least 70°F. (21°C.)
for a period of 24 hours before preservative oil is drained from the
cylinders. If this is not possible, heat the cylinders with heat lamps
before attempting to drain the engine.
After the oil sump has been drained, the plug should be replaced,
safety-wired, and the sump refilled with lubricating oil. The crankshaft
should again be turned several revolutions to saturate the interior of the
engine with the clean oil. When installing spark plugs, make sure that
they are clean, if not, wash them in clean petroleum solvent. Of course,
there will be a small amount of preservative oil remaining in the engine,
but this can cause no harm. However, after twenty-five hours of operation, the lubricating oil should be drained while the engine is hot. This
will remove any residual preservative oil that may have been present.
CAUTION
Do not rotate the crankshaft of an engine containing preservative oil
before removing the spark plugs, because if the cylinders contain appreciable amount of mixture, the resulting action, known as hydraulicing, will cause damage to the engine. Also, any contact of the preservative oil with painted surfaces should be avoided
7-1
SECTION7
General - Should any of the dehydrator plugs, containing crystals of
silica-gel or similar material, be broken during their term of storage or
upon their removal from the engine, and if any of the contents should fall
into the engine, that portion of the engine must be disassembled and
thoroughly cleaned before using the engine. The oil strainers should be
removed and cleaned in gasoline or some other hydrocarbon solvent. The
fuel drain screen located in the fuel inlet of the carburetor should also
be removed and cleaned in a hydrocarbon solvent. The operator should
also note if any valves are sticking. If they are, this condition can be
eliminated by coating the valve stem generously with a mixture of
gasoline and lubrication oil.
Inspection of Engine Mounting - If the aircraft is one from which an
engine has been removed, make sure that the engine mount is not bent or
damaged by distortion or misalignment as this can produce abnormal
stresses within the engine.
Attaching Engine to Mounts - See airframe manufacturer's recommendations for method of mounting the engine.
Oil and Fuel Line Connections -The oil and fuel line connections are called out on the accompanying installation drawings.
Propeller Installation - Consult the airframe manufacturer for information relative to propeller installation.
2. PREPARATION
OF CARBURETORS
FOR INSTALLATION.
Carburetors that have been prepared for storage should undergo the
following procedures before being placed in service.
Carburetor - Remove the fuel drain plug and drain preservative oil.
Remove the fuel inlet strainer assembly and clean in a hydrocarbon solvent. Reinstall the fuel drain plug and fuel inlet strainer assembly.

OPERATOR'SMANUAL
SECTION 7
CORROSION PREVENTION IN ENGINES INSTALLED
IN INACTIVE AIRCRAFT
Corrosion can occur, especially in new or overhauled engines, on
cylinder walls of engines that will be inoperative for periods as brief as
two days. Therefore, the following preservation procedure is recommended for inactive engines and will be effective in minimizing the corrosion condition for a period up to thirty days.
NOTE
Ground running the engine for briefperiods of time is not a substitute for
the following procedure; in fact, the practice of ground running will tend
to aggravate rather than minimize this corrosion condition.
a. As soon as possible after the engine is stopped, move the aircraft
into the hangar, or other shelter where the preservation process is to
be performed.
b. Remove sufficient cowling to gain access to the spark plugs and
remove both spark plugs from each cylinder.
c. Spray the interior of each cylinder with approximately (2) ounces of
corrosion preventive oil while cranking the engine about five (5)
revolutions with the starter. The spray gun nozzle may be placed in
either of the spark plug holes.
NOTE
Spraying should be accomplished using an airless spray gun (Spraying
Systems Co., "Gunjet" Model 24A-8395 or equivalent). In the event an
airless spray gun is not available, personnel should install a moisture
trap in the air line of a conventional spray gun and be certain oil is hot at
the nozzle before spraying cylinders.
d. With the crankshaft stationary, again spray each cylinder through
the spark plug holes with approximately two ounces of corrosion
preventive oil. Assemble spark plugs and do not turn crankshaft after
cylinders have been sprayed.
7-3
SECTION 7
The corrosion preventive oil to be used in the foregoing procedure
should conform to specification MIL-L-6529, Type 1 heated to
200°F./220°F. (93°C./104C.) spray nozzle temperature. It is not
necessary to flush preservative oil from the cylinder prior to flying the
aircraft. The small quantity of oil coating the cylinders will be expelled
from the engine during the first few minutes of operation.
NOTE
Oils of the type mentioned are to be used in Avco Lycoming aircraft for
corrosion prevention only, and not for lubrication. See the latest edition
of A vco Lycoming Service Instruction No. 1014 and Service Bulletin No.
318 for recommended lubricating oil.
