Ralph,
My AP required that the quick drain be drilled and wired.
Doesn't hurt, so why not do it?

Subject: LycomingEngines-List: Oil Change
After yesterdays flight, I started my oil change.
Got the oil drained and as I am installing the Curtis CCA 1700 quick-drain
to replace
the standard bolt, I realize a couple of things...:
The quick-drain valve is not drilled for safety wire - I think this is an i
mportant
enough component to keep from loosening by itself......I'm thinking that
I should get it drilled.- What do you folks say?
After going through all of my Lycoming manuals (the little owners guide tha
t came
with the engine, the overhaul manual, and the parts manual), I couldn't fin
d
the torque values for the oil-drain bolt or the finger strainer bolt.- Is
there
another manual?- Does anyone have these values handy?
I'm thinking that the torque for the regular oil-drain bolt should be what
I use
for the quick-drain.
I got the oil filter and spark plug torques from the Bingelis book - but I
would
be interested in what the Lycoming manuals say about them too.
Thanks in advance,
Ralph Capen

I contacted Curtis - their website shows the valve is drilled - mine wasn't - they
said send it back......it's on its way.
