Rolls-Royce O-200?
"john smith" wrote in message ... 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. |

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 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. -Dana -- -- If replying by email, please make the obvious changes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- America is at that awkward stage.

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