Lycoming 16A30160-01 Cylinder Assembly is a complete engine cylinder assembly designed for use in compatible Lycoming aircraft piston engines. This assembly provides the combustion chamber structure and houses the piston, valves, and related components required for efficient power generation within the engine.

The cylinder assembly is a critical component of the aircraft piston engine, containing the bore where combustion takes place and guiding piston movement during the intake, compression, power, and exhaust cycles. Proper cylinder condition is essential for maintaining compression, heat transfer, oil control, and overall engine performance.

The 16A30160-01 cylinder assembly is an alternative replacement for LW-12993 and is manufactured to Lycoming specifications for reliable aircraft engine service. The assembly is designed to withstand high combustion pressures, elevated temperatures, mechanical loading, and continuous vibration experienced during engine operation.

Cylinder assemblies are inspected during engine maintenance, cylinder replacement procedures, and overhaul activities. Inspection typically includes evaluation of cylinder bore condition, valve operation, compression performance, and overall structural integrity. Replacing a worn or damaged cylinder assembly helps restore engine efficiency and supports continued airworthiness.
