Compliance required prior to March 1, 1954.

In order to preclude possibilities of engine failure, when using AC LS-87 spark plugs in engines for which they are not approved, these spark plugs must be removed from all engines with the exceptions of the R-1820 having a T.O. rating of 1,200 h.p. or less and the R-1830 having a T.O. rating of 1,200 h.p. or less.
