| Subject: | Re: First Start of an O-200 |
Hi Guys,
I managed a milestone today in starting the engine for the first time. I
made up a pressure oiler and pressurised the system through the oil pressure
gauge output fitting. I also primed the oil pump through the filter housing.
A couple of turns and she was away. Pressure was up in seconds and managed
to get to 40 psi at around 1300rpm.
Not quite as smooth as the Corvair but all is good to go.
Cheers

You know guys, spinning the engine with the starter is still a dry crank
which the TCM manual is trying to avoid. First off, everything inside the
engine should have been lubricated with 100W mineral oil before/during
assembly. Second, there are the (PN 532432) plugs at the front of the
engine, the ports where the oil cooler pad (PN 35033) mounts, the original
oil screen housing (PN 35020), the oil pressure relief valve (PN 21113) as
well as the oil pressure outlet. Each of these can be used to prime and/or
check the effectiveness of your prime. If you are ambitious, you can remove
the valve covers as well. I added a quart of Royco flight ready
preservative oil before the first start. The oil flow charts (Figure 38 of
the TCM overhaul manual) for the O-200A showing pressure oil, scavenge
oil-suction and scavenge oil-drain are helpful in understanding where the
oil is going that you are pumping in with a rubber tipped oil can.
Looking at the charts, it is clear that removing the oil cooler pad (or
STC'd oil filter) allows you to prime the oil pump with the top hole and
pressurize the oil passages, key to the first start up, with the lower hole.
