How does the Lyc 0-235 bolt up to the Ercoupe engine mount? Would this be a
good avenue for us to try and get approvals to re-engine our planes?
LYCOMING'S NEW LSA ENGINE
For light airframes, Lycoming's 100-horsepower O-235 series has proven a
durable choice and now the company is updating it for the emerging LSA market
with the new IO-233. The O-235 serves as the basis for this new engine, but it
has electronic ignition, a throttle-body injector unit and redesigned induction
plumbing, according to Mike Kraft, Lycoming's chief engineer. The powerplant
was also placed on a diet and is 40 pounds lighter than the original O-235. For
durability, it also sports the roller tappets Lycoming has been installing in
most of its new engines. The rollers reduce cam wear and spalling.
