RV'ers



I just received a very distressing "heads up" from a buddy in the 

FAA. He says it will become an AD very soon. Can anyone provide any 

additional information concerning this bulletin?

There are certain 360 engines that will need a new

crankshaft put in. Engines built after 1999 are

affected.

The Gist of the SB: it has been a mandatory SB since last summer, the FAA

is about to make it an Airworthiness Directive. It involves Lycoming 360

thru 540 counterweighted engines, mostly Fuel Injected engines. Get the SB

and check if you engine is affected. As I read the SB, Lycoming is paying

for the replacement and shipping.

FYI, O360 A1A, A1D are not affected.

For those who want to get mad as (fill in the blank), I did that last

summer. How can a manufacturer charge so much for a product that is

defective? I guess as long as they are paying, it is not as bad as if the

owner had to pay for the replacement.

Yeah, but Bob, with that logic, you should never have to repair a Ferrari or a Lamborghini... Yeah, right... Smile

Good one.

But, at the same time, it's not really a fair comparison. You don't

necessarily expect reliability from a Ferrari or Lamborghini, you're more

interested in the exotic-ness or uniqueness of the product. Contrarily, with a

Lycoming, reliability is one of the princpal justifications for the cost.

But I was pleased to see that Lycoming is picking up the cost (or some of it,

anyway).
