SUMMARY:        This document publishes in the Federal Register an amendment adopting emergencyairworthiness directive (AD) 2008-06-51 that was sent previously to all known U.S. owners andoperators of Lycoming Engines IO, (L)IO, TIO, (L)TIO, AEIO, AIO, IGO, IVO, and HIO series reciprocating engines, TCM TSIO-360-RB reciprocating engines, and Superior Air Parts, Inc. IO-360 series reciprocating engines with certain Precision Airmotive LLC RSA-5 and RSA-10 series fuel injection servos. This AD results from eighteen reports of fuel injection servo plugs, part number (P/N) 383493, that had loosened or completely backed out of the threaded plug hole on the regulator cover of the fuel injection servo. These servo plugs were installed with servo plug gasket, P/N 365533, under the plug hex -head. We are issuing this AD to prevent a lean running engine, which could result in a substantial loss of engine power and subsequent loss of control ofthe airplane.
