Compliance is required within the next twenty-five (25) hours time in service after the effective date of this AD unless already accomplished. To prevent engine oil pump drive shaft failure and subsequent engine failure due to oil pressure loss, accomplish the following:
(a) Remove tach drive cover or tach drive adapter, as applicable, from the crankcase cover assembly.
(b) Measure the breakaway torque on the oil pump drive gear nut or the tach drive connector.
NOTE: The oil pump drive gear, P/N 640926, used on the LTSIO-360 engines incorporates a left-hand thread. Thus, the breakaway torque must be measured on LTSIO-360 engines in a clockwise direction; the tightening torque must be applied in a counter-clockwise direction.
(c) If the breakaway torque is between 200 inch-pounds and 350 inch-pounds, retorque the oil pump drive gear nut or the tach drive connector, whichever is applicable, to 280-300 inch-pounds. Reinstall the tach drive cover or the tach drive adapter and make the appropriate entry in the engine maintenance records, indicating compliance with this AD.
(d) If the breakaway torque is less than 200 inch-pounds or greater than 350 inch-pounds, prior to further flight, accomplish either of the following:
(1) Replace the TCM oil pump drive gear, P/N 632550, 634010, or 640926, whichever is applicable, with a like serviceable part of the same part number. Omit the Woodruff Key, P/N M535756-1 or P/N 633342-1. (Refer to TCM Manuals Numbers X-30030A and X30031A), or
(2) Perform a magnetic particle inspectionof the oil pump drive gear, P/N 632550, 634010, or 640926, whichever is applicable, in accordance with Section VI of the TCM Overhaul Manual Number X- 30030A. Give particular attention to the Woodruff key slot and threaded area. If the oil pump gear is found cracked, damaged, or worn beyond limits, replace with a serviceable part of the same part number. Omit the Woodruff Key, P/N M535756-1 or P/N 633342-1. (Refer to TCM Manuals Numbers X-30030A and X30031A.)
(e) Install the oil pump drive gear nut or the tach drive connector, as applicable, and torque to 280-300 inch-pounds. Reinstall the tach drive cover or the tach drive adapter and make the appropriate entry in the engine maintenance records.
(f) For all oil pump drive gears found with less than 200 or more than 350 inch-pounds of torque during compliance with this AD, within 10 days mail a written report containing the Engine Model, Serial Number, time in service, and measured torque and results of drive gear inspectionto: Federal Aviation Administration, ASO- 214, Engineering and Manufacturing Branch, P.O. Box 20636, Atlanta, Georgia 30320. (Reporting approved by the Office of Management and Budget under OMB No. 04-R0174.)
An equivalent method of complying with this AD may be approved by the Chief, Engineering and Manufacturing Branch, Federal Aviation Administration, Southern Region, P.O. Box 20636, Atlanta, Georgia 30320.
Amendment 39-4140 became effective June 30, 1981.
This amendment 39-4256 becomes effective November 20, 1981.
