Default Continental O-200 ?

Where at the Mattituck site is Stealth's question answered?


Under the "Experimental" button. That is a strange site that does not
display discrete urls for each page.

Anyhow, they will sell you a brand new O-200 for a mere $17,100. They seem
to be made of all new factory parts, but are not "certified" engines. Are these
the engines that they are putting in the new LSAs?

CubCrafters and Legend are building J-3 lookalikes with O-200
Continentals, but they are certified. I'm sure other manufacturers
are using the respected O-200 too.

Only thing I would do, if I bought a new engine, is put Millenium
cylinders on it, since their barrels are choked. Superior's cylinders
are better, cooler-running cylinders and can be run with the mags timed
at 28 deg. btdc.

One nice thing Continental has done with its C-75, C-85, C-90, O-200,
O-300 cylinders, though, is to make removeable pushrod tubes available,
which don't leak oil like the old tubes swaged into the heads.
