I have looked on past threads, and online, and do not see the answer to my question.
I have a Lycoming 0-360 on my 6A. It has been idle for some time, and now I have finally gotten checked out and flying again. Yesterday I flew for 2 hours and then changed the oil, and noticed that below the #4 cylinder is a bit of oil. Not a measurable amount, just enough to be dirty, and it seems to be coming from the base of the cylinder. I am borrowing some cylinder wrenches and will attempt to tighten up the studs and see if maybe they are loose.
what is the torque value that I need to check for these studs?
I am obviously hoping for a simple fix here and this seems to be the first step?
thanks for any input.
