Capen) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 10:50:10 AM PST US From: "Ralph E. Capen" Subject: LycomingEngines-List: Quick Drain Curtis took my quick drain and drilled it for safety wire - evidently a bad one slipped through as their website says they should be drilled. They also gave me the proper torque setting for the fitting. I had already put it back together with the original plug - didn't want to wait another weekend and the flying weather was good. Just thought I should notify everyone of the outcome.
