I am in the middle of a cam and tappet change. I had a shop dial out and mic the crank, they did not think it needed to be sent out for recertification since it was sent in at last overhaul, 600 hours and 6 years ago.
I had no cam/tappet metal in the suction screen or the oil filter but did find some in the oil pan and am considering changing the sludge tubes. I tried to do as Lycoming said and pull one with a slide hammer to no avail.
Anyone have any tricks to pull and then reinstall new ones or should I just flush the oil ports and call it a day?
