SUBJECT:
REMOTE MOUNTED OIL COOLERS
MODELS AFFECTED:
All Teledyne Continental Motors' Models Where Applicable
Gentlemen: The majority of Teledyne Continental Motors produced aircraft engines are equipped with engine mounted oil coolers; however, new aircraft installations are being designed utilizing remote mounted oil coolers. Trapped air in the oil system can cause oil aeration which in turn can cause poor valve train dynamics that could result in internal engine damage. At the factory, all engines are pre-oiled with a pressurized bowser system whereby oil aeration is an impossibility. If a remote mounted oil cooler system is utilized, then any time the oil cooler or the oil lines are drained or removed for flushing or replacement, the following procedure is recommended to make certain any trapped air is eliminated from the system: 1.
2.
Pre-Start Procedures: a.
Remove the lower spark plugs from the cylinders.
b.
With the mixture in idle cut-off and the magneto switches on "off", rotate the engine with the starter.
c.
Rotate the engine for a 30-second period. Stop for at least one (1) minute. Repeat this procedure at least four (4) times until the oil pressure gauge indicates a stabilized oil pressure reading during rotation. Continue to rotate the engine for at least ten (10) seconds after the oil pressure has stabilized.
d.
Reinstall the lower spark plugs.
Start engine and run at 900-1000 RPM for four to five minutes. Shut engine down, check the oil quantity and add oil as necessary to bring to full mark and safety wire the oil filter.
