The '78 182RG I've been flying has a Lycoming O-540 derated to 235hp. I understand that older 182's had the Continental O-470 rated at 230hp. Do newer 182's also have the Continental? Did Cessna only use the Lycoming for the RG models due to something such as ability to mount the carburator horizontally? I also noted that the 260SE also uses the O470 rather than the Lycoming. Up until the production line was restarted in the late 90's, the derated 0-470 Continental was the engine from the factory. There were/are Continental 0-520 conversions available. When production was restarted in 97 (?), the aircraft came with the Lycoming fuel injected engine installed. Remember that Textron owns bothe Cessna and Lycoming. |

The Pponk conversion apparently removes the fuel injection and replaces it with a carb...huh? -- Montblack http://lumma.de/mt/archives/bart.gif |

You start with either the O470U, which has the case and crank of a 520, or one of a few different kinds of the 520. My engine has about 1100 hours and when it's time I will be going with the Pponk. With the flow ported valves you get 275 hp. All that and low compression too. I can hardly wait. |
