BEFORE YOU BEGIN...
Protect Yourself
Always wear safety glasses
When using paint and chemicals, work in a well ventilated
room and wear appropriate protective gear (gloves, mask,
etc.).
The use of compressed air to clean parts is not recommended.
Compressed air can send debris flying at great speed and cause
serious injury.
Do not use flammable liquids near open ignition sources such
as water heaters, furnaces, electric motors, etc.
Read, Understand, and Follow
the Instructions
Read through each procedure before performing the individual
steps.
Make sure you have the appropriate tools, parts, and consum-
ables on hand. Some procedures cannot be interrupted while
you track down that forgotten tool.
Photo References in this Manual
Photos in this manual are included to illustrate specific steps
and may not accurately illustrate what an engine looks like
during an actual build-up.
do not add or remove parts based
on the photographs in this manual.
The step-by-step instruc-
tions are your only guide for adding or removing parts during
engine assembly.
Work Cleanly
Parts must be thoroughly cleaned with Mineral Spirits and in
many cases, lubricated, before assembly. Remove rust-inhibit-
ing coatings from each part.
The engine case and cylinder heads must be carefully cleaned
and inspected to remove any metal chips which may remain
from the machining process.
Work Smartly
Parts should never be forced into position. If excess effort
seems to be needed to assemble parts, STOP and investigate
the problem.
NEVER apply concentrated heat (such as with a torch) to
assemble or disassemble parts. Excess heat will damage parts
and result in a potentially dangerous engine installation.
Part Numbers and Packing Lists
The packing list provided with each AeroVee kit lists the
specific parts provided for that specific engine. Please refer-
ence your packing list for correct part numbers when ordering
maintenance and repair parts for your particular engine.
In addition to the packing list secured to the outside of the
engine kit boxes, a duplicate packing list has been attached to
the back of the physical manual supplied with that engine.
Copies of (most) packing lists are archived by Sonex Aircraft
and you may request an electronic (PDF) copy. To get a copy,
provide evidence you own the engine for which you are re-
questing the original packing list as well as the engine's serial
number.
AeroConversions reserves the right to supply compatible,
alternative replacement parts for any part of the core engine or
conversion package. Such parts may appear different than the
part originally provided in the kit or depicted in the manual,
and may bear a different part number, but will be functionally
identical or superior to the original kit-supplied component.
A Successful, Reliable Engine Installation Begins Here.
The use of compressed air to clean parts is not recommended.
Compressed air can send debris flying at great speed and
cause serious injury, as well as drive the debris deeper into
crevasses.
