Loctite 515 is an anaerobic sealant. It doesn't cure when exposed to air. The directions say to assemble immediately but you do have plenty of time. If using RTV-102 you do have to be relatively quick with assembly. For experimental applications...Loctite 518 is better suited for aluminum and Hylomar Aerograde with silk thread has seen great success. You can't find POB anymore so Lycoming is recommending Permatex #3 and thread now as one of the options. With both the Hylomar and Permatex it's only applied very thin to hold the thread in place.

@John-nc4bl Жыл бұрын
Thanks for all of the excellent videos that you produce. I notice that you did not apply sealant to the center saddle parting surfaces as well as the front bearing and rear bearing saddle parting surfaces. Continental apply sealant to these areas. Fretting and wear can happen to these surfaces during engine in service time and when that happens the torque on the forward, center and rear thru bolts will decrease which will cause more engine oil to ingress on to these surfaces and more wear will take place. This is not a good situation in my estimation. I would like to read your take on this scenario.
@HangaRatz Жыл бұрын
The manufacturer does not want any sealant on those surfaces. See Lycoming Service Instruction No. 1125. Thanks for watching!
@John-nc4bl Жыл бұрын
@@HangaRatz Bill, thanks for your reply. I wonder what the reason is for issuing SI 1125 requiring that no sealant be applied to these areas, yet Continental call for it in their engines. The only reason that I can think of is if the sealant is not properly applied then sealant contamination of the crankshaft journal will happen. These centerline saddle surfaces sometimes chafe against each other with slight movement and wear down which results in thru bolt torque being lost. If the sealant is properly applied it does prevent oil ingression and if it is not applied, movement and wear can happen with engine run time. Then it is all downhill from there on.

Thanks for making this video. Long time automotive tech here getting interested in aviation. Is there a point before assembly where you clearanced the bearings? As you may know, in auto we plasti-gauge everything to pick out the correct bearings, is there an equivalent step that you do on these engines prior to assembly or do you just base it off of crankshaft and journal measurements? Seems like it would be a huge pain to torque case halves together and then take it back apart to check clearance.

Couple of questions on the main bearing installation: 1) why coat the back side of the bearings, and i would have plastiguaged the crank before I lubed the mains.
@HangaRatz3 жыл бұрын
Q1) why coat the back side of the bearings A1) Because the manufacturer says so. As licensed aircraft maintainers that is our guidance. Q2)i would have plastiguaged the crank before I lubed the mains A2) That would entail assembling the press fit case halves an additional cycle which is hard on the cases and the through bolts. Plastigauge would only duplicate what the previous dimensional checks already confirmed. Plastigauge is fine for assembling cars but has no business in aircraft engine overhaul. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Thanks for watching!
