RV'ers
I just received a very distressing "heads up" from a buddy in the
FAA. He says it will become an AD very soon. Can anyone provide any
additional information concerning this bulletin?

There are certain 360 engines that will need a new
crankshaft put in. Engines built after 1999 are
affected.

The Gist of the SB: it has been a mandatory SB since last summer, the FAA
is about to make it an Airworthiness Directive. It involves Lycoming 360
thru 540 counterweighted engines, mostly Fuel Injected engines. Get the SB
and check if you engine is affected. As I read the SB, Lycoming is paying
for the replacement and shipping.
FYI, O360 A1A, A1D are not affected.
For those who want to get mad as (fill in the blank), I did that last
summer. How can a manufacturer charge so much for a product that is
defective? I guess as long as they are paying, it is not as bad as if the
owner had to pay for the replacement.

Yeah, but Bob, with that logic, you should never have to repair a Ferrari or a Lamborghini... Yeah, right...

Good one.
But, at the same time, it's not really a fair comparison. You don't
necessarily expect reliability from a Ferrari or Lamborghini, you're more
interested in the exotic-ness or uniqueness of the product. Contrarily, with a
Lycoming, reliability is one of the princpal justifications for the cost.
But I was pleased to see that Lycoming is picking up the cost (or some of it,
anyway).
