NGINES
Engines supported by Glasair Aviation for the Sportsman are:
1. Lycoming O-360-A1A, -A1F6 or -A4M engines.
Other engines may be installed on the Sportsman, but the above listed
engines are the only ones that have been tested by Glasair Aviation and
the only ones for which Glasair Aviation supplies propellers, engine
mounts, cowlings and other firewall-forward accessories and
installations.
NOTE
For new engines and engines returned to service following
cylinder replacement or top overhaul of one or more cylinders,
cruising should be done at not less than 65% to 75% power
until a total of 50 hours has accumulated or oil consumption
has stabilized. This is to insure proper seating of the piston
rings. Use straight mineral oil for the 50 hour break-in period.
