Continental O-200 ?
I noticed in another post that the Continental O-200 is back in new
manufacture again. Are there any links to the price of the new engine and the specification differences between the old O-200 that I fly with and would like to replace and the new O-200 LSA engine? I spent an hour probing the TCM website and found nothing. when did they put this little masterpiece back into production? Stealth Pilot Australia |

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? Vaughn |

Vaughn 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. |

Vaughn no this is not the engine. yes it is an O-200 but it is the earlier design. apart from one blurb page with a lovely photo of a new LSA engine the tcm website contains no details. this O-200 is a NEW engine. what interests me , apart from the price, is what update mods have been made. the starter looks like a new lightweight one so the rear case casting may be different. hopefully experience has improved the corrosion proofing internal to the engine. If all that LSA achieves in the long run is to cause Continental to put this beautiful little engine into production then it will have all been worth it. one wonders how much the Formula 1 racing guys will be able to coax out of new engines :-) cant wait.

They know a market is made of stupid people when they see it. |
