See post number six. This happened to a non aerobatic engine. The inspection is easy and should be done anytime the prop is off in my opinion. Just sayin if that little setscrew does fall out it will ruin your whole day guaranteed.
Fellow RGV. I grew up in Brownsville.
The reason for reviving the post is to draw attention and find out if there are any who have found the screw loose. Reading the various bulletins, it sounds like very few. Lycoming has been using Locktite since 2007.
The problem if found is it requires a full teardown and split cases to fix.
My IO540 was delivered fresh from the Lycomming factory early May, 2016. Is this something I need to be concerned about?
