1. Remove oil sump drain plug and drain oil.
2. Replace drain plug, torque and safety.
3. Remove oil filter.
4. Install new oil filter, torque and safety.
5. Service engine to proper sump capacity with oil conforming to MIL-C-6529 Type II.
6. Perform a ground run-up. Perform a pre-flight inspection and correct any discrepancies
7. Fly the aircraft for one hour at normal operation temperatures.
TEST FLIGHT DATE: _____________________
WARNING
To prevent possibility of serious bodily injury or death, before moving the propeller accomplish the following:
a. Disconnect all spark plug leads.
b. Verify magneto switches are connected to magnetos that they are in the "OFF" Position and "P" leads are grounded.
c. Throttle position "CLOSED."
d. Mixture control "IDLE-CUT-OFF."
e. Set brakes and block aircraft wheels. Insure that aircraft tie-downs are installed and verify that the cabin door latch is open.
f. Do not stand within the arc of the propeller blades while turning the propeller
8. After flight remove all spark plug leads and remove the top spark plugs.
9. Protect the ignition lead ends with AN-4060 Protectors. Using a common garden sprayer or
equivalent, spray atomized preservative oil that meets MIL-P - 46002, Grade 1, at room temperature
through upper spark plug hole of each cylinder with the piston at bottom dead center position.
10. Rotate crankshaft as opposite cylinders are sprayed.
11. Stop crankshaft with none of the pistons at top dead center.
12. Re-spray each cylinder. To thoroughly cover all surfaces of the cylinder interior move the nozzle or
spray gun from the top to the bottom of the cylinder.
13. Install dehydrator plugs MS27215-1 or -2 in each of the upper spark plug holes. Make sure each plug
is blue in color when installed.
14. Attach a red "REMOVE BEFORE FLIGHT" streamer to each bag of desiccant. Place a bag of desiccant
in the exhaust pipes and seal the openings.
15. Seal all engine openings exposed to the atmosphere using suitable plugs and covers
16. Tag propeller in a conspicuous place with the following notation on the tag:

INDEFINITE STORAGE INSPECTION PROCEDURES
Aircraft prepared for indefinite storage must have the cylinder dehydrator plugs visually inspected every 15
days. The plugs must be changed as soon as they indicate other than a dark blue color. If the dehydrator MECHANIC
plugs have changed color in one-half or more of the cylinders, all desiccant material on the engine must be
replaced. SIGNATURE

SERVICE LETTER NO. L180B

Procedure should be applied to the engine: MECHANIC
SIGNATURE
1. Install a preservative by one of the following methods:
a. Drain the lubricating oil from the sump or system and replace with a preservative oil mixture. This
preservation mixture consists of one part by volume MIL-C-6529C Type I concentrated preservative
compound added to three parts by volume of MIL-L-6082C (SAE J1966), Grade 1100, mineral aircraft
engine oil or oil conforming to MIL-C-6529C Type II. Follow carefully the manufacturer’s instructions
before use
b. An alternative method is the use of Cortec VC1-326 preservative concentrate added to the original
oil at a ratio of 1 part VC1-326 to 10 parts of oil.
2. Operate the engine until normal temperatures are obtained.
(Do not stop engine until oil temperature has attained 180°F (82°C). If weather conditions
are below freezing, oil temperature should reach at least 165°F (73°C) before shut down.)
3. Remove sufficient cowling to gain access to the top spark plugs and remove them.
4. Through the spark plug hole, spray the interior of each cylinder with approximately two ounces of
the preservative oil mixture using an airless spray gun (Spraying Systems Co., Gunjet Model 24A-8395
or equivalent). In the event an airless spray gun is not available, a moisture trap may be installed in
the air line of a conventional spray gun.
5. Reinstall spark plugs and do not turn crankshaft after cylinders have been sprayed.
6. If the aircraft is stored in a region of high humidity, or near a sea coast, it is better to use dehydrator
plugs instead of merely replacing the spark plugs as directed in the preceding step. Cylinder
dehydrator plugs, MS-27215-2 or equivalent may be used.
7. Preferably before the engine has cooled, install small bags of desiccant in exhaust and intake ports
and seal with moisture impervious material and pressure sensitive tape. Any other opening from the
engine to the atmosphere, such as the breather, and any pad from which an accessory is removed,
should likewise be sealed.
Desiccant may be obtained through a Textron Lycoming distributor using the following part
numbers:
Part No. 40249 = 1/2 lb. Desiccant
Part No. 40249-1 = 1 lb. Desiccant
Part No. 40249-2 = 1/8 lb. Desiccant
8. Firmly attach red cloth streamers to any desiccant bags installed in the intake and exhaust passages
to insure material is removed when the engine is made ready for flight. Streamers should be visible
from outside the aircraft. Propeller should be tagged, “Engine preserved – do not turn
propeller”.
9. At 15-day maximum intervals, a periodic check should be made of the cylinder dehydrator plugs and
desiccant. When the color of the desiccant has turned from blue to pink the preservation procedure
must be repeated
