-540 C4D5
Superior does not make a 6 cylinder roller tappet camshaft but does have
roller tappets. The only way to convert a 540 is to send it to the
factory for a reman/exchange, but it will be in a certified conversion
and you probably have to have the original data plate and engine logs.
They have not made field overhaul kits available. I understand there is
one engine shop that is machining cases for roller tappets, but it is
not us, and I believe you may have to have a specific case set to do the
conversion. Lycoming use to not sell their roller tappets for after
market. (You use to have to return any LRT tappets for an exchange on
new ones.) They may have changed their position on that issue.
More importantly, are you definitely set that you want to do the
conversion? What benefit are you seeking?

You have to split the case anyway to change cams..... The lobe profile
for a roller cam is entirely different then a flat tappet cam lobe
profile. While the case is split the machining can be done..

Superior pre bankruptcy made a roller tappet that could be retrofitted.
The lycoming tappet cannot without significant machining of case. I
don't know what is available from Superior now.

A few conversions have been done, but it requires modifying the case.
Lyc. will not do the conversion.

I've heard that with a prop strike, even a soft one (safety cone, taxiway light,
etc), Lycoming REQUIRES that all of the roller tappets be replaced and they
are huge coin.
The old school ones are much cheaper and only have to be inspected in a strike,
or so I was told.

Cool... thanks. I didn't think of the "tiebreaker" scenario.
