Prepare a New, Rebuilt, or Overhauled Engine for Installation
NOTICE:
The engine is sent from the factory with preservative oil in the cylinders and in the
crankcase. A preservation date stamp (usually on the engine box) identifies the date this
oil was added and preservation is good for 60 days afterward. If an intake valve was
open, the preservative oil can get into the induction system of the engine. All
preservative oil must be removed per this procedure.
To prepare the new, rebuilt, or overhauled engine for installation in the airframe:
DO NOT TURN THE CRANKSHAFT OF AN ENGINE WITH
PRESERVATIVE OIL BEFORE REMOVAL OF THE BOTTOM SHIPPING
OR SPARK PLUGS. OTHERWISE, ENGINE DAMAGE, CAUSED BY
HYDRAULIC LOCK CAN OCCUR.
