They are exactly the same engine. Only difference is the RR part numbers
end in RR.


pardon my ignorance...
Is a rolls-royce O-200 the same as a continental O-200?
I mean specifically same overhaul times, same parts, same maintenance,
etc?
I'm interested in a homebuilt with one but don't want to get into some
orphan engine.


And they have those really neat stamped RR plates on the end of each
cylinder. When you go to fly-ins and prop your cowling open, guaranteed
to draw a crowd.


Yep, mine are painted black with the RR logo in red.

No, they are totally different, and you would have to make every single
part, from scratch.

I would advise you go ahead with buying the homebuilt, then _immediately_
switch engines, and ship the RR engine to me, for safe disposal. I promise
you will sleep better, with that off of you mind! bfg

Anything else I can help you with, please feel free to write! g

I remember seeing an A-65 (IIRC) on a small homebuilt biplane with
those valve covers. When I asked the pilot, he said it was really a
Continental, but he picked up the valve covers somewhere and put 'em
just to freak people out.

America is at that awkward stage. It's too late to work within the system,

Don't forget to carry your Whitworth wrenches in the plane with you, your
A&P is unlikely to have a set.



And do not ever fly when it's raining.....

A friend has done the same with his Cessna 170 engine.

Well, I can't let you assume the risk. It would be wrong of me to not
insist on such a challenge. Therefore I will accept the engine so as to
protect you from yourself.
