MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
TIO-540 SERIES – ANGLE VALVE CYLINDER HEADS
a. Removal of Cylinder Assembly –
(1) Remove exhaust manifold.
(2) Remove rocker box drain tube, intake pipe, baffle and any clips that might interfere with the
removal of the cylinder.
(3) Disconnect ignition cables and remove the bottom spark plug.
(4) Remove rocker box cover and rotate crankshaft until piston is approximately at top center of the
compression stroke. This is indicated by a positive pressure inside of cylinder tending to push
thumb off of bottom spark plug hole.
(5) Slide valve rocker shafts from cylinder head and remove the valve rockers. Valve rocker shafts
can be removed when the cylinder is removed from the engine. Remove rotator cap from exhaust
valve stem.
(6) Remove push rod by grasping ball end and pulling rod out of shroud tube. Detach shroud tube
spring and lock plate and remove shroud tubes from cylinder head.
NOTE
The hydraulic tappets, push rods, rocker arms and valves must be assembled in the same
location from which they were removed.
(7) Remove cylinder base nuts and hold down plates (where employed) than remove cylinder by
pulling directly away from crankcase. Be careful not to allow the piston to drop against the
crankcase, as the piston leaves the cylinder.
b. Removal of Piston from Connecting Rod –
Remove the piston pin plugs. Insert piston pin puller
through piston pin, assemble propeller nut; then proceed to remove piston pin. Do not allow
connecting rod to rest on the cylinder bore of the crankcase. Support the connecting rod with heavy
rubber band, discarded cylinder base oil ring seal, or any other non-marring method.
c. Removal of Hydraulic Tappet Sockets and Plunger Assemblies –
It will be necessary to remove and
bleed the hydraulic tappet plunger assembly so that dry tappet clearance can be checked when the
cylinder assembly is reinstalled. This is accomplished in the following manner:
(1) Remove the hydraulic tappet push rod socket by inserting the forefinger into the concave end of
the socket and withdrawing. If the socket cannot be removed in this manner, it may be removed
by grasping the edge of the socket with a pair of needle nose pliers. However, care must be
exercised to avoid scratching the socket.
(2) To remove the hydraulic tappet plunger assembly, use the special Lycoming service tool. In the
event that the tool is not available, the hydraulic tappet plunger assembly may be removed by a
hook in the end of a short piece of lockwire, inserting the wire so that the hook engages the spring
of the plunger assembly. Draw the plunger assembly out of the tappet body by gently pulling the
wire.
CAUTION
NEVER USE A MAGNET TO REMOVE HYDRUALIC PLUNGER ASSEMBLIES FROM
THE CRANKCASE. THIS CAN CAUSE THE CHECK BALL TO REMAIN OFF ITS SEAT,
RENDERING THE UNIT INOPERATIVE.
