For one thing, the TCM IO/TSIO-360 is a *six* cylinder powerplant, that
puts out the same 200 horses that Lycoming's *four* cylinder IO-360 does.
So, no, "overworking" is not an issue.

What's the number of cylinders got to do with it?

Dan,
Absolutely nothing, which was my point in responding to Honeck's
assertion that the TCM 360 is a *four* cylinder engine with a reputation
of being "pushed too hard"(his words).

Happy Flying!

Regardless of the number of cylinders, Jay said it is pushed too hard in
comparison to the O-540. Which puts out 235 hp.

Actually, I was repeating what the Cherokee 235/236 user's group says about
that bird. I've got no personal experience with the Turbo Dakota.
