SECTION I

INTRODUC710N

1. This publication comprises the Service Instructions

for the Cyclone R-2600-20 and -22 engines manufac-tured by the Wright Aeronautical Corporation, Parer-

son, New Jersey.

2. In this publication the following definitions will

be used:

a. The front of the engine is the propeller end.

b. The rear of the engine is the antipropel1er end.

c. The right and left sides of the engine refer to

the viewpoint of an observer facing the rear of the

engine.

d. The horizontal position refers to the positon of

the engine as in level flight.

e. The rotation of the crankshaft, propeller shaft,

or propeller is clockwise as viewed from the rear of

the engine.

3. The cylinders are numbered consecutively in a

clockwise direction around the engine as viewed from

the rear. Starting with cylinder No.1, which is the

top cylinder in the rear row, and continuing with No.

2 cylinder, which is the top cylinder to the right of

the center line in the front row. By this designation,

all odd-numbered cylinders are located in the rear row

and all even-numbered cylinders in the front row.

See figure 5.

4. The following method has been established to de-

termine the exact location of any given cylinder hold-

down cap screw in the crankcase. The cap screws or

cap screw holes will be referred to as No.1, 2, 3, etc.,

around the entire pad in a clockwise direction begin-

ning with the first cap screw to the left of the longi-

tudinal center line of the cylinder at the front of the

engine, viewed from the propeller end and looking

down on the pad. The number of the pad will be

referred to with the same number as the number of

the cylinder which mounts on it in each case.

5. The Model R-2600-20 and -22 engines are double-

row, air-cooled, static radial engines operating on the

conventional four-stroke cycle. The general construc-

tion is as follows:

a. The crankcase is composed of seven principal sec-

tions: the front section, front main section, center

main section, rear main section, supercharger front

housing, supercharger rear housing, and supercharger

rear housing cover. The front section is secured

the front main section by means of cap screws.crankcase main sections are bolted together betw

the cylinders on each bank with 14 bolts, each

which extends through two sections. The supercharg

front housing is attached to the crankcase rear m

section by means of short internal bolts and long

ternal bolts. The supercharger front housing, su

charger rear housing, and supercharger rear hous

cover are secured together with studs, washers,

elastic stop nuts.

fins and rocker boxes which are screwed and shrunk

on steel barrels, the pistons and piston pins with

coiled-spring type retainers, and the piston rings.

The poppet-type valves are located in guides shrunk

in the cylinder head and are operated by a mechan-

ism consisting of rocker arms, push rods, and valvetappets. The tappets are actuated by lobes on a cam

ring driven by a step-down gear train originating at

the crankshaft. Both valves are closed by two high.

frequency valve springs.

d. The crankshaft is ot three-piece construction.

The front and rear secriou., are attached to the center

section by means of clamp je ;nts. The front section

consists of the front crankcheek to which the front

dynamic counterweight is attached and a forward

shaft extension incorporating reduction driving gear

splines. The rear section consists of a crankcheek to

which the rear dynamic damper is attached and a

short hollow shaft extension. Splines and threads are

.cut on the extension to receive the cam drive gear

which is secured by a retaining nut screwed On the

threads. The front and rear dynamic counterweights

are suspended from their crankcheeks on hollow pins

shouldered and tapped on one end to accommodate

the insertion of retaining bolts from the opposite end.

The crankshaft center section consists of two crank-

pins 180 degrees apart, separated by the center main

bearing journal. The three main roller bearings sup- •

porting the crankshaft are constructed with one-piece

roller retainers and are fully demountable for inspec-

tion of all parts.

e. The connecting rod construction consists of two

one-piece type master rods, one assembled on each

crankpin. Six articulated rods are fastened to each mas-

ter rod by knuckle pins, which are held in place by a

steel lock plate. A seal against excessive oil leakage is

provided by a bearing end-seal assembly consisting

of a bearing, the knuckle pin lock plate, and a bronze

spacer. The other end of the master and articulated

rods are connected to the pistons riding in the

cylinders.

[, All accessory drives are effected through spur

gearing in the supercharger rear housing, originating

at the accessory drive gear.

g. The R·2600·20 and -22 engines are equipped with

a two-speed supercharger drive which consists of an

impeller, a diffuser chamber, a distribution chamber,

and an impeller driving mechanism receiving its drive

from the accessory drive gear in the supercharger rear

housing. A drain valve is provided at the lower right

rear portion of the supercharger section to prevent

the accumulation of excess fuel.

h. The lubrication system is of the full-pressure

type, except for the cylinder and piston assemblies

which are lubricated by oil issuing from jets drilled

in each crankpin.

a. Engines installed in aircraft which are to remain

idle for indefinite periods but which are to be maia-

tained in ayable condition, must be proteeted from

corrosion by either of the following 'methods;

(l)With the aircraft facing into the wind to min-

imize the possibility of excessive cylinder head tem-

peratures, operate the engine at idling speed ODalter-

nate days for a minimum of 15 minutes or Until the

recommended oil-in operating temIJeralUre is reached.

(II) In cold weather, operation may be discon-

tinued after one-half hour. if normal oil-in tempera-

ture cannot be reached by that time. Avoid excessive

ground running, particularly in sandy or dusty areas.

(b) Do Dot exceed 50 percent of rated power

during ground operations.

(c) When these recommendations are carefully

followed the aircraft may be maintained in ayable con-

dition Indefinitely,

(2) ALTERNATE METHOD OF

Troubles Causes Elimination

Rough Engine. 1. Engine mount:

Cracked mount. Replace or repair mount.

Defective bushings. Replace with new bushings.

2 . Governor control. Refer to the applicable technical order.

3. Propeller blade settings. Check that all blades are set equally.

4. Malfunctioning engine. Check all previously listed engine troubles.

Do not tighten intake pipe packing nuts after "A" period of operation. Tightening of the

intake pipe packing nuts within "A" period of operation after installing new rubber packing

is permissible, because at this time the rubber packing is still soft and has not adhered tightly

to the nut and pipe. Leaking intake pipe packing is a fire hazard and a possible cause of

improper mixture strength. Caution must be observed in following these recommendations.

2 . COLD W EATHER PRECAUTIO NS.

a. In cold weather it is advisable to have some sort

of lagging on the external oil lines on the engine and

to and from the oil tank. This will decrease the danger

of stoppage due to local congealed oil. A layer of

asbestos cord coated with shellac or water glass and

then wrapped in friction tape provides very good

insulation. Lacking asbestos, several layers of ordi-

nary packing cord can be used.

b. Unless the Auto-Syn system of transmitting the

engine oil pressures to the cockpit gages is utilized, it

is recommended that all pressure gage lines be filled

with oil, Specification AN- 0·6, for cold weather opera-

tion. After the lines are filled with this oil, all con-

nections should be kept tight to prevent leakage.

c. Make sure the crankcase front section cold

4. DRAIN VALVE LEAKAGE. c. If leakage is evidenced with the disk-type super-

charger drain valve at full throttle and high altitude

only, throttle back slightly and reduce altitude a suffi-

cient amount to increase the pressure differential, and

when flight is completed, correction should he made.

As this is an installation problem, the correction is to

install a new drain that will extend into the area of

positive pressure and face forward into the slip

stream.

II. Leakage of the supercharger drain valve during

engine operation is often caused by dirt or foreign

matter which hinders the sliding action of the piston

or which prevents proper seating of the disk.

b. In some instances, valve faces may require lap-

ping co cffcct the proper seal. Improper fit of the

piston in the valve body is another cause of leakage.

SECTION VI

ADJUSTMENT, REPLACEMENT AND MINOR REPAIR

1. GENERAL.

a. The work outlined in this section can be per-

formed without the facilities usually available at ma-

jor overhaul activities.

h. The aim of the instructions in this section is to

establish the correct procedure for the replacement and

minor repair of such component parts of the engine as

cylinders, carburetors, magnetos, and starters. The

overhaul instructions are outside the scope of this

handbook and will be found in AN 02-35HC-3. Refer

to section VII of this handbook for the correct service

tools to accompany this section.

c. Elastic stop nuts will be used as a locking device

for all external engine studs and bolts except where

cotter pins are used. It is considered advisable that the

required stud height limits and locking limits be

followed. The elastic stop nuts must have at least one

complete thread projecting above the nut after it has

been installed. This is necessary to assure proper

locking. When this projection does not occur, a thin-

ner washer or a thinner type of nut should be used.

After being used several times, the elastic stop nuts

tend to lose their locking qualities. The number of

times the nut can be used depends on the temperaturesinvolved, the size of the nut, and the finish of the

threads. The suitability of a nut for further use is left

to the discretion of the mechanic, but it should be tight

enough to lock, which usually means tight enough to

require a wrench for installation. A finger-loose nut

must be discarded. It can easily be seen that rough or

burred threads greatly shorten the life of elastic stop

nuts. Therefore, where these are used, any rough spots

should be cleaned off the threads.

2. SPARK PLUGS.

a. Information on servicing and the tools required

for the spark plugs of these engines may be found in

A.A.F. T.O. No. 03-5E-l and Nav Aer 03-5E-602 and

-603, and section IV of this handbook.

h. Supplementing the above, _itshould be noted that

the thickness of the solid copper spark plug gaskets or

washer-type thermocouples used with these engines

must conform to the following limits: maximum-

.090 inch, minimum-.070 inch. This is to obtain

maximum efficiency of the spark plugs, less dange

overheating and detonation, and ease of removal.

3. CYLINDER AIR DEFLECTORS.

a. GENERAL.-To accomplish minor repair w

on the cylinder assemblies it is frequently necessar

remove cylinder head or barrel air deflectors.

b. REAR ROW CYLINDER HEAD AIR

DEFLECTORS-REMOVAL.

(1) To remove the rear row cylinder head

deflectors in one piece, disconnect the ignition

from the rear spark plug and pull it through the

deflector toward the front of the engine. Cut the

wire from the cap screws which secure the deflecto

the top of the cylinders at the rocker boxes, rem

these cap screws and washers. Remove the lock

cap screws, and washers at the two sides which se

(2) The two major parts of the deflector assembly

can be separated by loosening the Dzus fasteners which

hold them together.

e. FRONT ROW CYLINDER HEAD AIR DE-

FLECTORS-INSTALLATION.-If the two parts

have been separated, connect them with the Dzus fas-

teners, pass the rear spark plug lead tbrough its port,

and install the assembly on the cylinder securing it

with the four washers, cap screws, and lock wire.

t. FRONT AND REAR ROW CYLINDER

BARREL AIR DEFLECTORS-REMOVAL.

<I) The cylinder barrel air deflectors are num-

bered as to the cylinders on which they arc installed

when they leave the factory. At each removal of these

deflectors, care should be taken to see that these num-

bers are still visible. and if they are not, to repaint

them as necessary. This is found advisable due to the

minor differences between the deflectors which fit on

the various cylinders.

(2) Loosen the rear row cylinder air deflectors by

unsnapping the spring end of the tie bolts rearward

from the baffles. Do not loosen the tie bolt nuts as

they are adjusted and located at the initial engine as-

sembly to give the desired spring tension to provide

easy assembly and disassembly. Remove the front de-

flector attaching screw from each side of the front

cylinders. Remove the lock wire. cap screws, and

washers securing the rear deflectors at the rocker boxes.

Remove all the rear deflectors rearward, turning the

front cylinder deflectors around their respective cylin-

ders slightly to disengage the fasteners. Do not detach

the deflector from the semicircular clamp which passes

around the front of the cylinder. Note carefully the

arrangement of the deflector attachment clamps on

cylinders No.7 and No.9 to insure prope.r reassembly.

(3) Loosen and remove the front cylinder air de-

flectors by unsnapping the tie bolts and moving the

deflectors forward.

(4) For ease in carrying out the above procedure,

it will be advisable to remove the intake pipes first, if

this has not already been done.

g. FRONT AND REAR ROW CYLINDER

BARREL AIR DEFLECTORS-

INST ALLATION.

(1) If the deflector assemblies have been disas-

sembled, install the tubular fitting of the latch bolt in

the socket provided on the left side of the deflector.

Insert the threaded end of the latch bolt through the

drilled hole in the tubular fitting and screw the retain-

ing nut on the bolt. The nut will be adjusted later for

proper fit of the bolt.

(2) Install the drilled end of the semicircular

clamp in the bracket near the front of the left de-

flector, inserting it from the inside Install the short

attaching bolt, castellated nut, and cotter pin.

(3) Install the front cylinder barrel air deflectors

(the two sections being held together with the semi-

circular clamps) on the front cylinders and fasten them

in position by snapping the attachment links. The

correct position of the clamp on the cylinder can be

determined easily by noting the alignment of the cap

screw holes at the top of the deflectors with the

threaded holes at each side of the cylinders. Do not

install the cap screws at this time.

(4) Install the rear cylinder !Jarre! air deflectors

(held together with the semicircular clamps) on the

cylinders and swing the front cylinder barrel air de-

flecrors slightly around their respective cylinders to

allow engagement of the fasteners. Install the front

deflector attachment screws and washers at the sides

of the front cylinders. Install the attachment screws

and washers at the right side of the rear cylinders.

Lockwire these screws.

(5) If the latch bolts (attaching links) were re-

moved from the deflectors prior to this installation, it

will be necessary to adjust the retaining nuts for

proper tightness and ease in assembling.

4. INTAKE PIPES.

a. REMOVAL.

(1) The packing nut at the crankcase end of (he

intake pipe should always be loosened before removing

the cylinder connection to avoid damaging the intake

pipe and flange. This may be done with the special

spanner-type wrench (Tool No. 84258) and handle

<Tool No. 81403) of bar stock.

against the tappet guide. flange and install the hose

damps, referring to paragraph (3) above for additional

information on this detail.

(b) Oil the push rod ball sockets with engine

oil and insert the rod in the push rod housing through

the rocker box. Install the rocker arm and insert the

rocker bolt through its hub. Interchangeable spheri-

cal-seat washers are used on both ends of the rocker

bolt, with a synthetic rubber oil seal ring between each

washer and cylinder. The bolt should be inserted with

the head on the inboard side of the rocker box; that is,

the side next to the center of the cylinder head.

34

(c) Before tightening the castellated nut on the

.rocker bolt, check the end clearance between the bear-

ing inner race and the rocker box. If it exceeds .015

inch, remove the bolt and install a shim to take up the

excess.

(d) Tighten the rocker bolt nut to the correct

torque value, using the torque indicating wrench (Tool

No. 84922). Refer to Appendix II. If excessivetorque is necessary to line up the cotter pin hole, re-

move the nut and substitute a new washer, repeating

this procedure under the head of the bolt if necessary.

See figure 26.

(e) Move the crankshaft until the piston is on

top center of its firing stroke and adjust the valve

clearance as instructed in paragraph 6, c, below.

Tighten the locking cap screw in the clamp end of the

rocker arm. Apply engine oil to the rocker arms,

valve springs, and walls of the rocker boxes and install

the rocker box cover with a new gasket. Install an

elastic stop nut on each of the four attaching studs and

tighten.

(5) On front row cylinders it will be necessary to

attach 'the ignition wire clips to the push rod housings.

c. ADJUSTMENT OF VALVE CLEARANCES.

(1) Valve tappet clearance is measured with a

feeler gage between the rocker arm roller and the tip

of the valve stem. The adjustment is made by screw-

ing the slotted screw on the push rod end of the rocker

arm, using either the special screwdriver (Tool No.

81132) or the angle screwdriver (Tool No. 802581).The other end of the angle screwdriver incorporates a

socket wrench for tightening the tapered head lock

screw once the desired valve clearance has been ob-

tained.

(2) To obtain accurate valve clearance adjust-

. rnents, always locate the crankshaft so that the clear-

ances of both valves of a cylinder may be adjusted

without further movement of the crankshaft. This

means that both valves should be seated, with their

actuating tappet rollers located at their lowest position

of travel on the track of the cam between lobes. This

position occurs when the piston is approximately at

top center of its compression stroke and may be arrived

at by observing the rocker arm action of the cylinder

on each side of the cylinder upon which valve clear-

ance adjustments are being made as explained 10 the

following paragraphs:

pounds, tighten two cap screws on opposite sides of

the cylinder approximately 90 degrees from each of

the special locating cap screws. Using the same torque,

tighten two more cap screws on opposite sides of the

cylinder and approximately 45 degrees from the last.

Proceed in this manner until all the cap screws are

tightened. Remove the special locating cap screws

and replace with standard cap screws and washers,

using approximately 300 inch pounds torque. Finally,

tighten all of the cap screws consecutively around the

cylinder to a torque of 375 to 400 inch pounds. See

figure 32.

when using a torque wrench:

(a) Make sure the wrench does not bind on any

part of the engine.

(b) Install the wrench in such a posrnon that

the nut or screw may be pulled up to the required

tightness without interruption.

(c) The torque load should be applied until the

nut or screw has ceased to turn. This may require

several seconds from the time that the indicator

reaches the desired torque value.

(6) Install the spark plugs loosely in the cylinder

head to prevent the entrance of foreign material.

(7) Lockwire the cylinder hold-down cap screws

using a length of wire for each group of five. Lace

this section. If the valves have been ground to such

an extent that interference exists between the rocker

arm and standard valve spring washer, it will be neces-

sary to replace the valve spring upper washer with one

having an undersize bore. This operation requires

removal of the cylinder to a valve assembly block as

previously described in this section.

(12) Remove a spark plug to check the piston for

the top center position on the firing stroke and set the

(b) If the timing inspection hole in the front

section is accessible for installing the replacement

magneto, the inoperative magneto may be removed

as soon as its timing marks have been aligned accord-

ing to the preceding paragraph. Remove the cotter

pins, casrcllated nuts, and washers from each of the

three magneto attaching studs, holding the magneto

firmly to keep it from accidentally dropping because

of its overhanging construction.

(c) For maintenance, servicing and repair of

the Bosch SF14LU-1O magnetos, refer to A.A.F. T.O.

No. 03-5DC-l, and Nav Aer 03-5DC-528.

b. INSTALLATION.

(1) Remove the radio shield, the dust cover, the

distributor block, and the breaker cover. Turn the

magneto drive shaft in the direction of normal rota-

tion as indicated by the arrow on the cam until the

No. 1 cam lobe is about to open the contact points.

No. 1 cam lobe is marked by a red dot on the face

of the cam. \Vhen facing the magneto drive shaft

end, this position should also be observed by the white

mark on the distributor gear on the side nearest the

coil, and the white mark on the red pad on the inner

face of the gear housing. When these two points ace

in line, No. 1 lobe of the cam is about to open the

contacts for firing No. 1 cylinder. In the event that

the paint mark on the distributor gear is obliterated,

the correct point on the gear can be detected by the

drill spot which normally contains the paint.

(2) Determine the exact breaker point opening

by inserting a .0015 inch feeler gage between the

points or connect a timing light across the points. The

44

Figure 35-Bosch l'tfagneto Timi"g Diagralll

COrrect instant is determined when a slight pull

releases the gage or the timing light indicates opening.

Hold the cam in this position by pressing the fingers

against the distributor gear so that the distributor

rotor shaft cannot turn.

(3) Mount the magneto on the engine by means of

mounting studs. It is important that these studs be

approximately in the center of the magneto mounting

flange slots. If the splines of the magneto coupling

will not mesh with the splines of the engine drives in

the position first tried, then remove the cotter pin,

the castellated nut, the lock washer, and the recessed

plain washer, and withdraw the magneto coupling

from the magneto drive shaft. Remount the magneto

coupling in a different position on the magneto drive

shaft. The coupling and drive shaft are provided with

six splines so that six different positions of the gear

teeth on the coupling can be obtained.

(4) Mter the coupling bas been mounted in a

new position, repeat the procedure for mounting the

·magneto on the engine, One of the six positions of

the magneto coupling will allow it to readily mesh

with the internal spline on the engine drive, and with

the mounting studs in the middle of the magneto

mounting flange slots.

d. MAGNETO DISTRiBUTOR BLOCK

REMOVAL.

(1) As it has been pointed out in paragraph 8, a,

(1) of this section, it is not necessary to remove the

distributor block from the ignition cables when re-

placing a magneto in the field. However, should the

case arise where it is necessary to remove the distribu-

tor block, follow the procedure described previously.

(2) Separate the insulation plate from the dis-

tributor block by hand and remove the 11 cable pierc-

ing screws and lock washers from the block andwithdraw the ignition cables. See figure 36. With-

draw the booster cables, if used, removing the piercing

screw from the deep hole in the center of the block,

ing certain that the cable end seats properly in the

bottom of the cable hole. Secure the cable end with

a lock washer and piercing screw. Make certain that

the screw is firmly tightened. Insert the cable for the

next cylinder to fire, according to the firing order,

into the distributor cable hole marked No. 2 and

secure in the same manner. Follow this procedure

until the 14 cables have been installed in the dis-

tributor block.

NOTE

The numerals on the distributor block indi-

cate the firing sequence of the magneto only

and must not be construed as the firing order

of the engine cylinders.

terminal inserted and held firmly in place by the

slotted nut, the clearance between the automatic

grounding spring in the breaker assembly rear hous-

ing rim must be at least 3/32 inch.

NOTEAll American Bosch aviation magnetos are

furnished with a short-circuiting spring

which will automatically contact the inner

rim of the gear housing when the terminal

(switch) assembly is removed from the latter,

thereby short-circuiting the primary circuit.

This prevents the possibility of a high-tension

secondary voltage being built up which might

otherwise result in unexpected ignition.

Whenever the switch cable is connected to

the magneto, however, the magneto switch

must be kept in the "OFF" position to pre-vent accidental starting of the engine.
