                SUBJECT: MAGNETO TIMING INDICATOR PLATE
            MODELS
           AFFECTED:                  O-470, IO-470, TSIO-470, IO-520 and TSIO-520

          WARRANTY: The action required to comply with this service bulletin is not covered by
                    the TCM Gold Medallion Warranty.
Magneto timing errors may be attributed to improper use of timing indicator plates. Therefore,
we have eliminated using the timing plate, part number 628760, on all current production new
and rebuilt engines. All affected publications will reflect this part removal as they are revised.
We recommend using the magneto timing procedures as listed on our current service bulletin
M80-27 for accurate magneto timing.
