Weight of a Continental C-85
Hi folks. I can't seem to nail down the weight of this engine and I'm
suspect of published weights. For example Lycoming publishes the weight of an 0-235 as 218 pounds and when I had one weighed it was 241 w/no alternator. Can anyone help me on a C-85? If you have a weight pls tell me what is included in that. Or give me a link if you have a reliable published report. Thanks. Don.... |

Your weighing of the O-235 came much closer to my recollection than the other figure, and I was curious about what else I might find, so I did some digging. Here are links to the certification data sheets that I found, including a link to search for information onother brands and models: http://makeashorterlink.com/?N29C22FDD Lycoming o-235 http://makeashorterlink.com/?M2CC24FDD Rolls Royce C-90 & O-200 http://makeashorterlink.com/?K13D23FDD Continental C-75 & C-85 http://makeashorterlink.com/?J36D13FDD Continental C-90 & O-200 http://makeashorterlink.com/?C39D26FDD Search by Product Type Note that "Product Type" is really "Certificate Holder" in alphabetical order and then you can expand the entries and look for the actual product type in alphanumeric order. Don't expect miracles all the time--the server seems to get overloaded, and did so while I was searching. I hope this helps. Peter |

other figure, and I was curious about what else I might find, so I did some digging. Peter, you are the man, that is exactly the info I was looking for. Looks like the C-85 w/o baffles, exhaust or prop but including lightweight starter and alternator, carb, fuel pump, air scoop & filter, oil cooler, ignition and 5 quarts of oil will come in at 221 pounds. The 0-235 L2C that I had weighed had a starter and no oil and weighed 241, with all the other components it would have been 269 pounds. Thanks very much. Don |

According to the type certificate data sheet (E-233) the weight (dry),
lb. 177, 182, 178, or 180 depending on what is installed. This engine was certificated under CAR-13 and is weighed without oil. The TCDS can be found on the FAA web site at: http://www.faa.gov in the search block type in type certificate data sheet, then type in E-233. Stache |
