It’s a single use, replace each time item. Clarence When I put that into Aircraft Spruce I get a part for a continental motor.....is it the same for lycoming?

cferr59 Posted December 8, 2020 Report Share Posted December 8, 2020 MS35769-21 is right for the O-360-A1D. 18mm spark plug gaskets (AN4027-1) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fine wire or massive electrode makes no difference to gasket size. You need U674 gaskets, which can be annealed a few times before they’re scrap.

There are similar uses for this gasket on Continental engines as well. The Old AN 900-16 is now an MS35769-21, it’s 1” ID. Clarence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While a very nice thought, I’m not ready for Florida heat just yet. And there is a small issue of the exchange rate on greenbacks.

KB4 Posted December 8, 2020 Report Share Posted December 8, 2020 For #7-With a 5/8 angled tip wrench (different angle on each end helps) and long snips to cut safety wire this is easy to remove and install. There I said it. It’s easy. So no MSer should neglect the screen moving forward remove scat for room Loosen nut from bottom. With angled wrench Then stand on something so you can reach down from the top thru void left by oil filter you removed. Maybe diff for your Lycom you get the idea Loosen screen nut by hand the rest of the way and pull it out. Install just as easy. Only PIA part was safety wire. OFF and ON. Long hemostats help to reach down to get safety wire. Personally getting in there to cut the safety wire off and redoing it takes the most time and patience.

Been working on cars for many decades so working in tight spaces you can't see is just the norm. After the first time I didn't find it hard to do. I do it all though the side sitting on a box. I just replaced the alternator on my son's car. Had to use straps to pop off the mount, pull the engine forward and still had to raise the engine 6 inches off the mount just to be able to wiggle the thing out. Not uncommon. -Robert 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yourpilotincommand Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 Newbie owner here. I doubt my screen was inspected at annual. I’d like to take a look at mine. I do my own oil changes. Dumb question.. should I wait to drain the oil at my next oil change to inspect the screen? I’m guessing i would make an oily mess otherwise. Thanks.

mike20papa Posted December 10, 2020 Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 If you are asking about the suction screen .. YES. Do not remove it from the sump or else you will have a gallon plus of oil let loose to deal with. If you are asking about the high, at the accessory case pressure screen - you can remove it with "minimal" oil leakage. But why?? This should be concurrent with the oil change - so just wait - unless you have oil pressure or other concerns - or just go ahead and drain/change the oil?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
