There are about a dozen IO540C4B5's in the list and since one of ours was
overhauled in 2001, I had to contact Penn Yan to get the serial number of
the crank. No problem, it wasn't on the list.

Has anybody else looked up your engine serial numbers on Lycomings
latest
crankshaft service bulletin #566? This one adds about 1000

ducked the bullet once again.
There are also a few -360 (4 cyl) series engines affected, specifically
those with counterweighted cranks. The IO-360-C1C6 in our Arrow IV falls
in
this category, and since we installed a factory reman last year I was very
worried until I looked up the list of affected SNs and crankshafts.
Fortunately, they used a refurbished, older crank (originally manufactured
before the March 1, 1999 cutoff) on our engine, so we dodged the bullet.
