My Twin Comanche (IO-320B) engines differ in the safety wire used on the cylinder hold-down nuts. Both engines were relatively recently overhauled. On the Left, three cylinders have safety wire around the hold-down nuts. But the R engine only has one with safety wire. I cannot find any Lycoming documentation (nor did I get a response to my call to the service rep) that says to use (and if so when) safety wire on the base nuts. I've looked at other PA-30s and they all seem to have differences. Can anyone give me a vector? Thanks!
