Per the Slick SB, the mags are normally opened up at 500 hours, and the

You know, I've wondered about this. Our left mag shows a smidge more of a
drop than the right mag -- it's, again, probably not noticeable to someone
who doesn't fly the plane all the time.

What's involved with setting the mag point gap?


Talk to your A&P. Proceedure is specified in the Service Bulletin.
Mag(s) have to be removed, split, internally inspected (particularly
the impulse coupling), lubricated, both the E gap and points gap set,
new gaskets, reinstalled on the engine, and retimed.
