Avbug, why are you so totally arrogant. Did you fail in your calling to become a lawyer and prosecutor? ggg.

Well, you got there before me! I was going to tell the bug he missed his calling too. Maybe a reporter or detective. Guess he will have to settle for turd!
 
did you not raed anything in my last post?????? You must be one of those people that has no life and can't keep a job because no one likes you, so you sit on the computer ALL DAY to criticise everyone that says anything on here. And to some people I might no have given enough information about the problem, but as I said before there was a prob with the wrong main bearings being put into the newer 540s and delamination occuring, and there have been six accidents due to the same problem, and many other engines have been overhauled due to the same problem. But thanks for your help.

If you're read and answered the questions, you were asked about AD's, SBs, and SI's that were complied with...had you bothered to READ and answer the questions, you might have had a more complete reply.

Delaminated bearings? You install a lot of laminated bearings, do you?

SAIB No. NE-01-37, applies to Lycoming IO-540 and TIO-540 engines with 300 hp or greater and addresses front main bearings P/N LW-1388T installed after August 24, 2000. Lycoming has reported six events of front main bearings delaminating and liberating metal particles into the oil system that accumulates in the oil filter. This could lead to an engine seizure and in-flight shutdown. Highly recommend performing oil filter inspections in accordance with Lycoming Mandatory SB 480D, which can be accessed on the Internet at: www.lycoming.textron.com/main.html. You may also contact Lycoming by telephone at (570) 323-6181.
 
The matter was introduced to you...w(h)eather you elected to respond or not is your affair...some folks would rather drown than take a glass of water.
