Anyone performing the 500 hour inspection SB ? I know that 135 operators are required but in the “good” old days magnetos went to 1500-2000 hours.

For Slick magnetos it is highly recommended. From what I have seen the
inards are not as durable as a Bendix. Since you can do it yourself, all
you need is points, condenser, and the correct lube. IIRC Slick even has
tools to ensure you get the E gap correct, etc. In turbo-ed motors with
pressurized Slicks they often don't make 500 hours.

Timely post. I just packaged my O-235 Slicks up and am sending them to these folks: http://www.aircraftmagnetoservices.com/

It seems that every time I have a mag failure it is around 500hrs, so I don't skip the inspections. I think you'd be very lucky to get 1500 hrs without doing anything.

No advice, but I watched a good EAA Webinar on magnetos last week.
http://www.eaavideo.org/video.aspx?v=1367499350001
I have little to no experience with the items in front of the stainless
so I am trying to learn all I can before the engine arrives.

I watched the EAA Webinar on magnetos last week as well. It was very
informative. I learned a lot about magnetos, and will definitely be
sending mine out for IRAN at 500 hours. I also would not consider
doing it myself or having the local A&P do it after attending the
webinar. For me, a certified magneto shop is the way to go.

Yes. Too much of the Slick component need attention before 1000 hours.
Bendix were built like a tank and "seemed" to go longer.
Lighter weight and more frequent checks for wear. Not withstanding that bad set of carbon contacts a few years ago "as found new" on Slicks.
Trust but verify not later than 500. Retiming annually is the minor adjustment for normal wear.

Aircraft Magneto Services is in our neighborhood here in the Pacific Northwest, and they are terrific. It's actually a little house in the forest on Bainbridge Island, though for many years they were on the field at Paine Field in Everett, WA until the rent went through the roof (halo effect of Boeing's final assembly operations there having $100 billion or so of orders on the books).
I asked the owner whether I could do my own magneto maintenance, since I had gotten the mag service kit from Spruce. He said that the major expense is not the tools to rebuild the magneto, it's the test equipment they use. After rebuilding they put every magneto in an oven to heat it up for a few hours, then do a waveform inspection of its spark output while hot and running at high RPM. I was impressed that when they put their yellow tag on a mag, it is a quality piece of work.
Interestingly, they had to replace the shaft and bearings on one of my Slick that was 500 hrs since factory new and installed by Lycoming -- still had the Lycoming yellow paint on the hold-down nuts from the factory build. They showed me where Lycoming had failed to put shaft lubricant on the mag during installation, resulting in overheating, corrosion, and a slightly bent shaft. I had no idea, since that mag had always timed perfectly.
So, would anybody be interested in a completely unused magneto assembly and timing kit? (see http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/eppages/slickassykit.php )
Like David, from this point forward I just put 'em in a box every 500 hrs and send them to the folks who really know their stuff.
