I have a YIO-360 Lycoming engine purchased thru Van's that comes set up for a constant speed prop. My plan is to convert this engine to run a fixed pitch Catto prop. This requires compliance with Lycoming Service Instruction 1435. To complete this modification I must removal of the front expansion plug in the crankshaft, put a 1/8 to 3/16 hole in the aft crankshat expasion plug, avoid damaging the tranfer tube forward of the aft plug, and reinstall the forward expansion plug in the crankshaft.
I need a detailed set of instructions on how to accomplish this conversion without doing some serious damage to the crankshaft. Some of you very talented guys have undoubltedly done this and I'd appreciate your sharing your knowledge.
All of the arguments, pro and con, for the fixed vs cs have been extensively reviewed and argued with my professional flying buddies and that is no longer a topic for discussion.
