I have an O-320 D2A wide deck that I am putting together. The Lycoming table of limits are confusing in a few areas.


Can someone please verify the torque on the 3/8" nose bolts (beside the main bearing) that through the crankcase? Also the 1/2" and 3/8" cylinder hold down nuts?

Just want to make sure that it's correct.
Thanks,
John

Use the torque values in the crankcase assembly chapter in the Direct Drive Overhaul manual, not in the table of limits appendix.

Torque

Steve, thanks for answering. However the Overhaul Manual that I have shows the torque limits for the allen head nuts that are used on the older narrow deck O-320s. Mine are the plain 1/2 and 3/8" type nuts.
