| Subject: | Splitting case of an IO-360-A3B6D |
--> Engines-List message posted by: Scott Farner <sfarner@gmail.com>
I am overhauling my IO-360-A3B6D (with A&P help, of course) and am a little
confused over how to split the case. The parts manual clearly shows that
there are four dowels that go all of the way through the case - two forward
of cylinders 1&2, and two that are used to bolt on cylinders 1&2 - and that
there are two studs that go through one side of the case and terminate
inside the other side.
My question is where in the front of the engine is pressure put to separate
the case halves. I have the plates that bolt over the cylinder holes and are
used to crank down on the studs in the rear, but there doesn't seem to be a
place to do this on the front of the engine as it does not seem possible to
use the through-dowels to push on the opposite case half.
Thanks,
Scott Farner
