Not at all uncommon. Skylanes and Skyhawks were made in France and
Argentina, for example.

Continental engines were made in England by Rolls Royce and are type
accepted by the FAA to be used anywhere the Continental built engines are
used. It's kina neat opening the cowl and seeing the Rolls Royce rocker box
covers.

Wow.

I need a new set of rocker covers for the O-470R in my Skylane!

RR made O-470s so the covers are around. I have seen a number of and own a
RR built O-200 but have not seen an O-470. BMW built Lycomings for the
European Market and they have BMW rocker box covers.

Cool! They would be worth almost any price, just to see my A&P's face when
he de-cowled the engine...

Ebay, here I come!
