IO 470 Fouled Plug
Page A-3-1 of the Continental O-470 Maintenance Manual: #6 cylinder is the
front port side cylinder. As Michelle said, it is the most forward of the six cylinders and is directly on the OPPOSITE side of the engine from the oil cooler. Looking at the O-470 engine from the top: Prop Flange Oil Cooler 6 5 4 3 2 1 Magnetos What's this "left" and "right" stuff from you old geezers? You no speaka da port and starboard likea you teacher done taught you? Left and right swap sides depending on which end of the engine you are looking at. Me? I'd pull the bottom plug for inspection first. 99/100 of the time that's the fouled one. Jim "George Patterson" wrote in message news:YyBCf.1306$Ix.796@trnddc07...

I have a new plug, but can't tell which cylinder #6 is and whether it's the plug on the top or the bottom.... Can anyone tell me which plug it is...? Number 6 is the rearmost cylinder. Trace the wires to work out which plug is connected to the left mag. George Patterson Coffee is only a way of stealing time that should by rights belong to your slightly older self. |
