G'day all,   

I just took delivery of my IO540 (experimental) from Vans.  On opening the box, the engine has been beautifully hermetically sealed and pickled for long term storage, there were boxes containg the injector, mounting ears and oil filter.  But the documentation appeared to be very scarce.  There does not appear to be a contents list.  For those who have received similar engines, what docs did you receive and where were they hidden?  

Cheers,  

Ron

G'day Ron,



There should be a large envelope that has all of the installation instructions, relevant Service Bulletins, and some specific data for the test cell results of your particular engine.  Contains a new engine logbook, and also a Lycoming 540 User instructions manual that is a small three ring binder.



Mine also came with a couple of bags of installation hardware (nuts, bolts) and a spare oil filter fastened to the pallet.

You can also get the IO540 wide deck overhaul manual and parts guide and 3

years of updates from Lycoming for about $100.

I just received my engine this week from Lycoming and was also surprised at lack of paperwork.  It was the experimental version of the engine.  No installation instructions, just the engine run pages, a couple of service instructions, and an engine log.  No users manual in 3 ring binder like I got with the O-360 when I built my RV-8A a few years back.  Wonder if the reduced paperwork is due to the experimental designation?

Aaron, at least I received a nice DVD that had some useful  videos for blackhander newbies like me.  Here is the response from  Lycoming:

  

  

"The operators manual, log  book, etc for the engine are in a white plastic envelope that is attached  to the top of the engine inside the box  with a zip tie. Please advise if you cannot find this. Thank you."

 the  operator's manual was not inlcuded so I have asked for one, even though one or  two fellow listers have been immensely helpful with their offlist  responses. 

  

 cheers,

 Ron
