Compliance required within the next 25 hours' time in service after the effective date of this AD, unless already accomplished. (1) To detect cracked turbocharger oil inlet adapters inspect the turbocharger oil inlet adapter located at the turbocharger center housing for cracks and/or oil seepage. If there is evidence of oil leakage or cracks, the adapter must be replaced with steel adapter TCM P/N 640793 or Cessna P/N 5655204-2. When replacing the aluminum adapter with the steel adapter on the following model airplanes, the oil fitting which mates with the turbocharger oil inlet adapter must be replaced, unless already accomplished, with the appropriate steel fitting listedbelow. Applicable Replacement Make Model Airplane S/N's Steel Fitting Beech V35-TC All AN 816-6 V35A-TC AN 816-6 V35B-TC AN 816-6 Cessna 320-D, -E All MS20823-6 320-F 320F0001 thru MS20823-6 320F0034 401 & 402 0001 thru 0155 MS20823-6 (2) If there is no evidence of cracks or oil seepage, inspect at intervals not to exceed 25 hours' time in service from the last inspection until replaced with turbocharger oil inlet adapter TCM P/N 640793 or Cessna P/N 5655204-2. Replacement of the aluminum adapter TCM P/N 628675 or Cessna P/N 5655204-1 with steel adapter P/N 640793 or Cessna P/N 5655204-2 or an equivalent approved by the Chief, Engineering and Manufacturing Branch, FAA, Southern Region, is required within one year from the effective date of this AD. This amendment becomes effective April 24, 1975. ## Affected data sheets (3) (OpenAirDocs) The type certificate data sheets whose models the AD names. - [TCDS E8CE](https://openairdocs.org/tcds/E8CE): Continental Aerospace Technologies, Inc.; names 5 of 31 models: TSIO-520-B, TSIO-520-J, TSIO-520-D, TSIO-520-K, TSIO-520-E - [TCDS E7CE](https://openairdocs.org/tcds/E7CE): Continental Aerospace Technologies, Inc.; names 4 of 10 models: GTSIO-520-D, GTSIO-520-C, GTSIO-520-F, GTSIO-520-H - [TCDS 3E3](https://openairdocs.org/tcds/3E3): Continental Aerospace Technologies, Inc.; names 3 of 3 models: TSIO-470-C, TSIO-470-B, TSIO-470-D ## Registered aircraft it may apply to (OpenAirDocs) Matched by airframe and engine model; the AD's applicability may narrow it by serial number, part number or equipment. - Aircraft: 4,789 (0 by airframe model, 4,789 by engine model) - Makers: Cessna 3,800, Beech 706, Piper 173, Raytheon 61, Mooney 11, Cirrus Design 9, Aero Commander 6, Meyers Industries 2, Navion 2, Ryan 2 Models with the most aircraft: - [Continental TSIO-520 series](https://openairdocs.org/engine/continental-tsio-520-series): 4,064 aircraft (engine model) - [Continental GTSIO-520-C](https://openairdocs.org/engine/continental-gtsio-520-c): 387 aircraft (engine model) - [Continental GTSIO-520 series](https://openairdocs.org/engine/continental-gtsio-520-series): 178 aircraft (engine model) - [Continental TSI0-470-B](https://openairdocs.org/engine/continental-tsi0-470-b): 75 aircraft (engine model) - [TCM Cont TSIO-520 series](https://openairdocs.org/engine/tcm-cont-tsio-520-series): 49 aircraft (engine model) - [Continental GTSIO-520-H](https://openairdocs.org/engine/continental-gtsio-520-h): 9 aircraft (engine model) - [Continental TSIO-520-B](https://openairdocs.org/engine/continental-tsio-520-b): 9 aircraft (engine model) - [Continental TSIO-520-E](https://openairdocs.org/engine/continental-tsio-520-e): 6 aircraft (engine model) - [Continental TSIO-470 series](https://openairdocs.org/engine/continental-tsio-470-series): 4 aircraft (engine model) - [Continental TSIO-520-D](https://openairdocs.org/engine/continental-tsio-520-d): 4 aircraft (engine model) - [Continental GTSIO-520-D](https://openairdocs.org/engine/continental-gtsio-520-d): 2 aircraft (engine model) - [Continental TSIO-520-J](https://openairdocs.org/engine/continental-tsio-520-j): 1 aircraft (engine model) - [Continental TSIO-520-K](https://openairdocs.org/engine/continental-tsio-520-k): 1 aircraft (engine model) All 14 models: https://openairdocs.org/ad/75-09-13/models.md Every aircraft: https://openairdocs.org/ad/75-09-13/aircraft.md Its text cites no advisory circulars or STCs. --- OpenAirDocs.org is an independent research project of [Contrail Labs](https://contraillabs.com/).
