 |
|
Lycoming has asked me (and hundreds/thousands of others?) to retire my
crankshaft at my convenience, or February 21, 2009, whichever comes first.
Check the Mandatory Service Bulletin from Lycoming to see if it applies to
you, but it looks like just counterweighted 360s and 390s that will be
affected RV-wise, and maybe a handful of 540s on Rockets and Supers. My
crankshaft serial # is right there in the list. Here's the SB:

Ouch. Sure wish there was an alternative to the Lycoming's of the world.
Such quality control issues for the prices we pay are just inexcusable.

Good thing you'll probably reach TBO way before 2009!

Wasn't planning on it, but I guess I'll have to. ~340 tach hours per year
(~425 hobbs hours) would have strung out longer than Feb 21, 2009 (assuming
I made it to 2000 tach hours). We'll see.
I emailed AeroSport Power to see what their take on this SB was.

Landed on a freeway? Wow. Tell us more. What failed, and where
were you when it failed? And tell us all about the landing and the
aftermath. What worked well, and what would you do different next
time? Are you OK? Is the aircraft OK?

I just sent my engine back to British Columbia for remediation of the last SB. Thanks goodness this SB says that the last one completes the requirements for this one........
