Pursuant to this thread:
I'd like to take this "opportunity" to swap my IO540K1G5D for a K1G5 via the Aeronautix STC, doing away with the dual mag. Ordinarily I'd just make the swap with a Lyco fac. rebuilt, but lead times are ****ing stupid and I'm not going to leave my engineless airplane carcass to rot in a hangar for a year plus.
The G5 and G5D are quite different and not really convertible. However, the K1A5 (and possibly the K1E5, but i need to check the parts book) are the same as the K1G5 with the exception of the accessory case and a couple accessories. The question is, what's involved in converting between "dash numbers"?
I found SI 1304J, which covers getting new data plates. Is it as simple as swapping the accessory case, noting the conversion in the engine log, and calling up Lyco for a new tag?
FFS. I need a new hobby.
This ****ing airplane. Had a small oil leak behind the prop. Decided to wait for annual, assuming it was a crank seal. Mechanic pulled the prop and found the plug over the governor shaft loose & leaking. Same exact failure as 2.5 years ago. I was *n* hours from having a windshield full of oil...
