      Roscoe,
      Is there a known/proper position for the prop to stop after shutdown? Ours is 6-12:00 every time. The information online is all over the place. Lycoming O-320 with high compression cylinders, standard Cheetah powerplant.

      Thank you, Pat Hendren

      It depends on the engine, but mostly on the prop’s original starting position when it was installed. Maintenance manual call out with #1 at TDC, blade one of the prop is to be installed at clock position (depends on model) and has the engine been dynamically balanced.
