 |
|
I just started looking at my oil sump bolts to pick one to hold an Adel
clamp to restrain wiring. I notcide that most of them are installed
upside down (head lower than the nut). This engine is as Bart Lalonde
gave it to me. I thought all bolts in a plane were supposed to be
installed ith the head on top if at all possible.
It's also easier to torque the bolt to the proper value if the nut is
in the bottom where you can get to it with a socket wrench+extendion.
BTW: What is the proper torque value for the oil sump bolts?

In this case I don't think it matters which way the bolts go. You can probably torque the bolts instead of the nuts and it will be just fine, IMHO. The proper torque from the Lycoming Overhaul Manual is 75 inch pounds.
