Unsafe Condition

Missing cylinder valve retainer key causing engine failure.

AI-generated summary from the source AD text. Verify against the official source before acting.

Required Actions

Visually inspect each cylinder to determine if both valve retainer keys are in place on each valve and if the roto coil, if applicable, is properly positioned. Repair or replace the cylinder if a key is missing or the roto coil is mispositioned. Return engine to service if keys are in place and roto coil is correctly positioned.
