Do you have a good recommendation for a Book about Engine Maintenance? It should explain all the standard maintenance procedures like Oil Change, Ignition Timing setting, Compression Test, etc for Lycoming and maybe Continental engines.

Thanks for your input!

Annual Condition Inspection Powerplant DVD

I really liked this DVD.. well worth it. They walk through an annual condition inspection on a Piper Archer with a lycoming 0-360 and show how to do everything.

Did I miss it, or did the video leave out the main step during mag timing? And not a good location to use as timing marks.

Perhaps a little more complex than you requested, but this is an excellent book -

The ones from the Light Plane Maintenance folks are also good -
