OVERHAUL MANUAL
FOR AIRCRAFT ENGINE
MODELS
C75,C85,C90 & 0-200
FAA APPROVED
FORM X-30010 JANUARY 1984FOREWORD
This manual is published for the guidance of all facilities engaged in
operation, maintenance and overhaul of four cylinder engines of the
Teledyne Continental C and 0-200. Series.
A description is included in this manual of the various models and special
equipments of the series and photographs selected to illustrate the major
differences between models. ‘The Table of Specifications provides more
detailed information in regard to features and performance of the models. tt
should be noticed that such descriptive material is neither intended nor
adequate to enable conversion of any model to another in instances in which
such conversion is permissible. For detailed information regarding
application of parts and their interchangeability, refer to the Spare Parts
Catalog, For model and series number conversion instructions, refer to the
Teledyne Continental Service Bulletin on that subject.
Service maintenance instructions relative to accessories installed on Teledyne
Continental aircraft engines in our factory are reprinted herein by permission
of the accessory manufacturers. Instructions for overhaul of these acces
sories may be obtained direct from the manufacturers or through their
authorized service facilities.
All descriptive and dimensional information and all instructions contained in
this edition have been revised and extended to cover all four eylinder models
of the Teledyne Continental C Series in current production. The parts
catalog section is not included in this edition, since it is subject to frequent
change in details
‘A manual of this scope cannot be revised often enough to be kept up to date
at all times, since it is our policy co improve details of engine design in the
interest of maximum safety and utility of our products whenever the results
of our continuous experimental and development program indicate the
desirability of replacing the old with something even better. For this reason
we issue Service Bulletins to our Approved Distributors to advise of
important changes in parts, desirable inspections and precautions found
necessary in operation and maintenance. These bulletins are available for
reading at all Teledyne Continental Approved Service Stations. Those who
need permanent copies of Service Bulletins may obtain them by direct mail,
as issued, from the factory Publications Department on an annual
subscription basis. A nominal charge is made to cover the cost of mailing.
It is suggested that a careful study of the text of this manual will provide the
reader with knowledge of engine construction and of techniques for both
‘operation and repair work which, if applied in practice, will promote safety
in flight and long engine life.
If, in spite of the high quality of materials and the careful inspection and
testing of these engines, any defect is suspected, the question should be
brought immediately to the attention of the nearest Teledyne Continental
Approved Service Station so that a diagnosis and any necessary correction
may be made.Section

INTRODUCTION
1.1L MODEL DESIGNATIONS.
This publication covers the maintenance and
‘overhaul instructions applicable to the four
cylinder € Series and the 0-200 Aircraft Engines. C
Series Engines covered by this publication fall into
three model groups, namely, C75,C85 and C90,
according to normal rated horsepower. Within each
© model group, variations in equipment of the
basic engine are denoted by suffix dash numbers,
as explained in the Table of Specifications. Further
explanation of the meaning of model dash numbers
applicable to € models will be found in Section IIL
Each engine bears an identification plate, on which
is stamped the information peculiar to. that
particular model, including the exact model and
dash number designation and the engine serial
number.
NOTE
Uf a new nameplate is required, refer to
Service Bulletin M75-5.
All correspondence with Teledyne Continental
Distributors and with the factory Service De-
partment in regard to specific engines should
refer to the exact model designation and serial
number,

1.3, MEASUREMENT
Throughout this manual are instructions regarding
measurement of parts dimensions and proper
tightening of nuts and screws. The importance of
accuracy in these operations cannot__be
overemphasized. All necessary data will be found
in the Table of Limits. A chart provides a visual
reference to locations of the points where
measurements are to be made.
1-4, CLEANLINESS
Every effort should be made to keep engines free
from external accumulations of foreign matter and
to prevent the entrance of abrasive particles.SECTION II
