Where at the Mattituck site is Stealth's question answered?

Under the "Experimental" button. That is a strange site that does not
display discrete urls for each page.

Anyhow, they will sell you a brand new O-200 for a mere $17,100. They seem
to be made of all new factory parts, but are not "certified" engines. Are these
the engines that they are putting in the new LSAs?

CubCrafters and Legend are building J-3 lookalikes with O-200
Continentals, but they are certified. I'm sure other manufacturers
are using the respected O-200 too.

Only thing I would do, if I bought a new engine, is put Millenium
cylinders on it, since their barrels are choked. Superior's cylinders
are better, cooler-running cylinders and can be run with the mags timed
at 28 deg. btdc.

One nice thing Continental has done with its C-75, C-85, C-90, O-200,
O-300 cylinders, though, is to make removeable pushrod tubes available,
which don't leak oil like the old tubes swaged into the heads.

no this is not the engine. yes it is an O-200 but it is the earlier
design.
apart from one blurb page with a lovely photo of a new LSA engine the
tcm website contains no details.

this O-200 is a NEW engine. what interests me , apart from the price,
is what update mods have been made. the starter looks like a new
lightweight one so the rear case casting may be different.
hopefully experience has improved the corrosion proofing internal to
the engine.

If all that LSA achieves in the long run is to cause Continental to
put this beautiful little engine into production then it will have all
been worth it.

one wonders how much the Formula 1 racing guys will be able to coax
out of new engines :-)
cant wait.

Seventeen grand for a 60 year old museum piece engine THAT IS NOT EVEN
TYPE CERTIFICATED. They know a market is made of stupid people when
they see it.

What is stupid for sure is the above remark....
and possibly the person who made it.

I have been a long time advocate of alternative power--where the weight,
speed, and operating conditions make that part of a reasonable
compromise--which is definitely NOT everywhere.

However, Bret, I have been reading a number of your recent posts and,
although I am normally a very mild mannered person, I feel compelled to say:
Go play n traffic!

Yada, yada, yada.

You attitude gives alternate engine power a bad name.

Once again,you do nothing but BLOW a stream of nonsense.
Certified engines are the established kids on the block, dood.
Learn to deal deal with it in a positive way!
Your remarks do nothing for the advancement of alternate engine power.

I would prefer to fly behind a certified power plant (or in front of
one). Pratt and Whitney for instance.
