Rolls-Royce O-200?

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 maintence,
etc?

I'm interested in a homebuilt with one but don't want to get into some
orphan engine.

Thanks,

(please also pardon the cross posting, I wanted to get as much input as
possible)

Plus, the RR engines feel superior to their Yank made counterparts! g

And you will need to find an AME named Nigel. G
And find a source for avpetrol. G

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.

With that RR decal, this guy didn't even need to prop open his cowling to
draw a crowd.

What [Rolls-Royce] decal?

Why, the one in the first photo!

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.
