  • Page 4: Description

    1.0 Description 1.1 General The TITAN 340CC engine has been tested and are manufactured in ® accordance with ASTM F2339-06. The TITAN 340CC engine is a 4-cylinder, ® direct-drive, horizontally-opposed, and air-cooled engine. In referring to the engine, the front is described as the propeller flange, the accessory case is at the rear of the engine, the oil sump is located on the bottom, and the pushrod shroud tubes are located on the top of the engine.
  • Page 5 The sump has a pad on the bottom to attach the carburetor. The 340CC oil sump is fabricated from aluminum sheet with welded construction.
  • Page 6: Cooling System

    1.2 Lubrication System The 340CC engines utilize a pressurized wet sump lubrication system that is actuated by an impeller-type oil pump contained inside the rear (accessory) housing. 1.3 Priming System Priming is achieved by a priming system or a throttle pump on engines utilizing a carburetor.

    If a pump is not installed, priming can be accomplished by pumping the throttle. This is more effective in warmer climates.

  • Page 10: Warm Up And Taxi

    3.2 Warm Up and Taxi Engine cooling is dependent upon airflow through the cowling and oil cooler. The section of the propeller in front of the cowl cooling inlet is generally very ineffective, and forward speed of the airplane may be necessary during high temperature conditions to keep the engine from overheating.

    One of the best ways to monitor engine health is to have Cylinder Head Temperature (CHT) probes in each cylinder head. An EGT gauge is also very useful, but more so for fuel injected engines. Operation Manual for AEC TITAN 340CC ASTM Certified Engine | 11 ®...
  • Page 12: Let-Down

    3.6 Let-Down The let-down should be accomplished by slightly decreasing power and letting the airplane decelerate (to safe airspeeds). Chopping the power should be avoided unless there is an emergency. The reason is that the cylinder barrel walls will receive cold air cooling while the piston is still hot. This can lead to scuffing, glazing, or even barrel deformation with a washboard pattern matching the barrel fin spacing.

    4.4 Overhaul Period The O-340CC engines have been tested to the protocol established in ASTM F2339-06 to an overhaul period of 2400 hours. Overhaul periods are subject to many factors, and must be accomplished depending on engine condition. Operation Manual for AEC TITAN 340CC ASTM Certified Engine | 15 ®...
