Lycoming Engine Parts list - Where to find?

You hit the nail on the head. Trying to avoid needless (and
expensive) work on my plane. The build sheet is what I'm after. I'll
call Lycoming tomorrow.

Thanks for the reply.

You're welcome.

About the worst one I've been exposed to was a specific s/n range
bulletin. Had to yank all 12 jugs off of a customer's Navajo at 85 hrs
SOH (not to mention 85 hrs after selling him the engines-about $75k)
to verify that Lycoming put the right pocking piston pins in when they
assembled them.

Luckily, I've missed out on their more recent "problems".

That's about as bad as I've heard. I'd be really PO'd if that
happened to me, even if I had the money to run a Navajo!

You stated in your other post that Lycoming "started producing build
sheets" for their engines. This is what I need. I have asked for it
from Lycoming and the tech rep said he needed to ask permission to
send it to me This is 3 days ago. Do you have any ideas as to how
to convince them they should/have to send it to me so I can verify
compliance with an AD? In the AD text it specifically states to
obtain a build sheet from Lycoming

If you do I'd really appreciate the help. If not thanks for chiming
in in the first place.

Been out of touch for a couple days, hopefully you've resolved this
with Lycoming.

"ask permission" gag choke puke.

I guess I would have told them that I own or operate the engine, and
if the build sheet is not forthcoming via e-mail, fax, or express
freight, I was planning to charter a Skyvan and drop the pocking thing
through their durn roof.

But then again, I've used that one once or twice during hostile
warranty negotiation (pre-IX XI), so you might need to come up with a
new method.

Thanks for following up. The guy said yesterday that he'd fax me a
few pages of stuff like the EMPL#, and a page from the spec sheet to
show how my plane was built. I was happy to hear that so I said go
ahead. Something happened with the fax and it didn't come through.
When I called him back (about 5 minutes later) his message said he'd
be out until SEPTEMBER 4th!!!!! So today I tried to get his back up,
but the guy never called back. Monday I'm going to get a little
pushy, this has taken over a week and a half.

As far as my response if they weren't going to send it, I was going to
site the AD, and get their FSDO and my FSDO involved, which hopefully
would have done something (I know, I know, I'm dreaming, but maybe the
threat of doing this would have done something).

I'll post a note when (if?) this is resolved.

Thanks again,

Just to close the loop, I finally got the paper work I needed from
Lycoming. Jeez did it take a long time! At least I got what I needed
and a PITA AD has been satisfied.

Toecutter - thanks for you help.
