Service Bulletins Released After Publication TCM strives to provide clear, concise, and accurate information and instructions based on best known engineering data at the time of publication. Ongoing process improvements at TCM may change a specification or procedure after a manual is released. Service Documents, defined in Chapter 1, expedite customer notification and serve as the prevailing instruction over conflicting information until the new information is incorporated in the manual text. Such bulletins are part of TCMs Instructions for Continued Airworthiness. As bulletins are received, note the bulletin number, title, and applicable section affected by the bulletin in the blank cells below and insert a copy of the Service Bulletin behind the last page of this section. The following bulletins, released after this manual, affect and supplement the procedures herein. When performing procedures affected by the bulletins, review the bulletin content prior to commencing the task to ensure completion using the most current information and methods. TCM recommends placing a note at the beginning of the affected section in the manual as a reminder to review the service document.

PREFACE Teledyne Continental Motors (TCM) provides Instructions for Continued Airworthiness based on the design, testing, and certification of engines and parts for which TCM is the holder of the Type Certificate (TC) or Parts Manufacturing Approval (PMA) issued by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Instructions in TCM manuals, which include maintenance, repair limits, overhaul, and installation, are applicable only to engines and parts supplied by TCM. This manual, the Maintenance and Overhaul Manual, applicable service documents, and other related publications constitute the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness (ICAs) prepared by TCM and approved by the FAA. Pursuant to Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) 43.13, each person performing maintenance, alteration, or preventive maintenance on the engine or accessories must use methods, techniques, and practices prescribed in the ICAs or other methods, techniques, and practices acceptable to the Administrator. Except for FAR part 43.3 authorized owner maintenance, TCM ICAs are written for exclusive use by FAA (or equivalent authority) licensed mechanics or FAA (or equivalent authority) certified repair center employees working under the supervision of an FAA licensed mechanic. Information and instructions contained in this manual anticipate the user possesses and applies the knowledge, training, and experience commensurate with the requirements to meet the prerequisite FAA license and certification requirements. No other use is authorized. Installation of non-TCM parts on a TCM engine constitutes a deviation from TCM type-design criteria. TCM has not participated in design, test, or certification of any non-TCM parts. TCM does not provide product manufacturing specifications to aftermarket parts manufacturers and accepts no liability for the suitability, durability, longevity, or safety of such parts installed on TCM engines. Installation of non-TCM parts on a TCM engine must be performed using Instructions for Continued Airworthiness prepared by the manufacturer and approved by the FAA for the subject installation. TCM ICAs must not be used for such parts. Service bulletins may contain general information or information specific to a group of engines or be in effect for a limited time frame. Service Bulletins may also contain advance changes to the ICAs. It is the responsibility of the organization/person maintaining or operating the engine to verify that current and complete information, including Service Bulletins, FAA Airworthiness Directives (ADs), and publications are used. To facilitate the use of current data, TCM provides information via the Internet on TCMLINK. The information available includes a listing of the latest manual versions, service bulletins, FAA ADs, and other information applicable to the ICAs. This information is free of charge to owners of TCM engines by registering as an Aviator Service Member. The latest manuals are available through TCMLINK to Fixed Base Operators (FBOs) who are TCM FBO Services subscribers. Information available through Aviator Services is also available through FBO Services. Hardcopies and service subscriptions are available from TCM. Refer to Publication Access listed in Chapter 1.
