And they have those really neat stamped RR plates on the end of each

to draw a crowd.

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.

A friend has done the same with his Cessna 170 engine.

switch engines, and ship the RR engine to me, for safe disposal. I

You, sir, are a true gentleman.

Why, thank you very much!

I try to be helpful, when I can! g

Well, I can't let you assume the risk. It would be wrong of me to not
insist on such a challenge. Therefore I will accept the engine so as to
protect you from yourself.

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.


Rolls-Royce built several Continental engines under license for many years.
I don't know if parts are interchangeable, but I don't think they'd be
considered orphan engines.

I owned a Cessna about 20 years ago with a 0-200 RR engine. I believe
that Wag Aero, a Mr. Rick Wagner was selling them at that time. I asked
a rep at Continental motors if the engine was the same. Their reply was
all parts are interchangeable. As I recall I did have a A.D. on my
engine that required the oil pump gears to be inspected each annual.
This was only on the RR engines. I had to make a gage to insert into
the tack drive hole at the rear of the case to be able to do this. I
ran the engine several hundred hour and it was just great. Never had
any troubles at all.
