OK listers:
So far, I'm about half right. Attached is a scan from the Continental
Motors Corp. Maintenance and Overhaul Manual for:
Continental "C" Series, 4 Cylinder Aircraft Engines, Models C75, C85, C90
and )-200A
Page 72, the paragraphs show in the pic.
The starter DOES NOT call for elastic stop nuts.
The Generator and tach drive DO call for elastic stop nuts.
On the previous page, the oil sump (kidney tank) calls for elastic stop nuts
IF the studs it is attached with are non-drilled.
I have a Continental O-300 overhaul manual and it calls for elastic stop
nuts in the same places, (Gen & tach drive, no kidney tank here).
My Continental Manual for the E-185 series engine (old Bonanza) calls for
AN365-524 (elastic, I believe) self locking nuts for the Gen installation.
All these parts are attached directly to the engine case or accessory case.
I'm not selling any method, I'm just wondering how you reconcile Continental
specs. with the rule of thumb: "firewall forward, no elastic stop nuts".
