SERVICE BULLETIN
DATE: June 1, 2011 Service Bulletin No. 598A
(Supersedes Service Bulletin No. 598)
Engineering Aspects are
FAA (DER) Approved

SUBJECT: V­Band Clamp P/N LW­12125­3 (Aeroquip P/N NH1008723­10) and LW­
12093­6 (Aeroquip P/N MVT69183­225) on Turbocharged Engines
MODELS AFFECTED: Lycoming engines, identified in Table 1, and spare clamps shipped from
Lycoming between December 27, 2010 and May 25, 2011.
TIME OF COMPLIANCE: Before next flight, immediate inspection of engines (in Tables 1 and 2) that
have not already been operated and have proven thermal stability at high
power
OR
Within 10 hours of engine operation or at the next maintenance event,
whichever occurs first
NOTE
Incomplete review of all the information in this document can cause errors. Read the entire
Service Bulletin to make sure you have a complete understanding of the requirements.
This Service Bulletin identifies two potentially non­conforming V­band clamps on specific Lycoming
engines and spare parts shipped between December 27, 2010 and May 25, 2011:
· V­band clamp P/N LW­12125­3 (Aeroquip P/N NH1008723­10) with W.O. 51519853 stamped on
it as shown in Figure 1.
· V­band clamp P/N LW­12093­6 (Aeroquip P/N MVT69183­225) with W.O. 51599475 stamped
on it as shown in Figure 2.
Both of these V­band clamps could have unacceptable spot welds which could lead to an overstress failure
once thermal expansion starts.
NOTE
The V­band clamps are identified in the remainder of this document by Lycoming P/N's
LW­12125­3 and LW­12093­6. Except for experimental engines (those with an X in the
engine model number) refer to the respective engine's illustrated parts catalog for the
location of the V­band clamp on the engine. There are no illustrated parts catalogs for
experimental engines.

 Table 1 identifies affected engine models and serial numbers shipped in the above described time period
that could have the suspect clamps installed. Table 2 identifies those Lycoming engine models that use P/N
LW­12125­3 and/or LW­12093­6
Required Action:
1. Refer to Table 2 and do a review of your engine records and spare parts orders to identify whether or
not P/N LW­12125­3 or P/N LW­12093­6 purchases were made between December 27, 2010 and
May 25, 2011.
NOTE
You must look for and examine both V­band clamps to make sure all suspect clamps are
examined.
2. Look at the stamped data on P/N LW­12125­3 for W.O. 51519853 (Figure 1) and P/N LW­12093­6
for W.O. 51599475 (Figure 2).
3. If your spare parts inventory and engine maintenance records show that you did not receive clamps
P/N LW­12125­3 or P/N LW­12093­6 within the suspect time frame, just record your findings of
this check in compliance with this Service Bulletin in the engine logbook.
4. If it is possible that procurement of these parts occurred within the suspect time frame and now
could either be in your spare parts inventory or installed on an engine model identified in Tables 1 or
2, you must identify and collect all of the suspect clamps as follows:
a. Remove the suspect clamps P/N LW­12125­3 stamped with W.O. 51519853 and P/N LW­
12093­6 stamped with W.O. 51599475 from your spare parts inventory.
NOTE
You must look for and examine both V­band clamps to make sure all suspect clamps
are examined.
b. If you have any of the engine models identified in Tables 1 and 2, examine the stamped data on
the clamps for W.O. 51519853 (See Figure 1) or W.O. 51599475 (See Figure 2).
(1) If the W.O. data stamped on the clamp is NOT 51519853 or 51599475, keep the clamp
installed. Make sure the clamp is torqued as per the latest revision of Service Instruction
No. 1238.
(2) If either W.O. 51519853 or W.O. 51599475 is stamped on the clamp, or if you cannot
read the stamped data:
(a) Remove the suspect clamp(s) P/N LW­12125­3 and P/N LW­12093­6 from the
engine.
(b) Contact an authorized Lycoming distributor for instructions where to send suspect
parts and get replacement parts.
NOTE
Warranty is available for material and labor allowance through an
authorized Lycoming distributor using the standard warranty
procedure.

 (c) Install and torque new P/N LW­12125­3 and/or P/N LW­12093­6 (that does not
have W.O. 51519853 or W.O. 51599475 stamped on it) on each affected engine as
per the latest revision of Service Instruction No. 1238.
(d) Record replacement activity in the engine logbook.
