Engine Installation
3-2. Installation Procedures
Multiple steps are required to complete engine installation in the aircraft. Instructions in
this manual provide steps necessary to install the engine, as it is provided to the aircraft
manufacturer. The aircraft manufacturer is responsible for selection and installation of
various accessories and interface components necessary to integrate the engine into
certified aircraft configuration. Instructions applicable to these aircraft-specific
configuration items and continued airworthiness requirements are beyond the scope of the
engine manufacturer and shall be provided by the aircraft manufacturer.
3-2.1. Prepare the Aircraft for Engine Installation
1. Verify the aircraft fuel filter is installed and in working order.
WARNING
Purge the aircraft fuel tanks and lines to remove contamination
prior to connecting the fuel supply to the engine. Failure to
purge contamination may cause erratic engine operation.
CAUTION: Follow the aircraft manufacturer’s scheduled interval
for aircraft mounted fuel and oil hose replacement. Hoses become
brittle with age; Continental Motors recommends hose replacement
coincident with engine overhaul to avoid immediate contamination
or failure at a later date.
2. Replace all aircraft flexible oil and fuel hoses according to the aircraft
manufacturer’s instructions prior to engine installation.
3. Clean the aircraft fuel strainer and allow at least one quart (0.94L) of fuel to flow
through the strainer and fuel supply line into a Type 1 fuel container through a paper
filter.
4. Inspect the paper filter for contamination; if the fuel supply is free of contamination,
proceed with engine installation. If contaminants are found in the fuel supply, isolate
and correct the source of contamination prior to connecting the aircraft fuel supply
to the carburetor.
3-2.2. Prepare the Engine for Installation
Remove packing material, tags, and the preservative fluid from the oil sump of new,
rebuilt, overhauled or stored engines prior to installation.
NOTE: If the engine won’t be installed immediately, refer to the “Engine
Preservation and Storage” instructions in Chapter 9 of M-0, Standard
Practice Maintenance Manual.
1. Remove the shipping plugs or dehydrator plugs from the spark plug holes.
2. Remove the AN-4060 protectors from the ignition leads.
3. Place a basin under the engine to catch the cylinder preservation oil.
NOTE: A small amount of preservative oil remaining in the cylinder bore
is acceptable; it will burn off during the first engine start.
