* NOTE. For SB-3 and TIB-3 engines, maximum torque loading on these drives should not exceed 150 in. -lb. combined load.
Wasp Jr. SB and early SB2 engines incorporate tongue and groove type fuel and vacuum pump drives and all engines have
splined type drives.
NOTE 3. When Grade 80/87 is not used, Aviation Grade 80 is suitable for a maximum of 400 hp. and Grade 91 should be
used when higher power is attained.

B-4 Internal automatic None - this engine used with extension
shaft and is mounted with the
crankshaft vertical.
* Some model 8B-3 engines may bear the serial No. suffix "NH" (non-feathering) in which cases modification of the
crankshaft is necessary before a feathering propeller can be used. This modification is also possible on other
Wasp Jr. engines. (C.S. - constant speed; T.P. - two position; F. - feathering).
NOTE 5. Model SB-3 and those TIB3 engines having serial numbers above 9257, as originally manufactured involve a
possible maximum weight increase of 40 lbs. due to the substitution of aluminum for magnesium in the nose, blower
and rear sections. Since any one or all of these sections may be substituted, the weight increase stated is the
maximum.
NOTE 6. Includes Model SB engines Nos. Y-22 and Y-23 (R.C.A.F. Nos. 1594 and 1595).
NOTE 7. Deleted February 10, 1954.
