Posted: Sun Dec 24, 2006 9:24 pm Post subject: Continental O-200 Engine mount point

Hello List,



Does anyone here has an easy access to a Continental

O-200 engine?  I would like to know the spacing

between the two seats of the engine mount bushing

assemblies... or simpler, the thickness of the mount

point (the upper ones).  



I bought a O-200 bushing kit to use with my Franklin

and I feel that the assembly is not tight enough.



Thanks!



Michel

PS: merry chrismas to all and all the best for 2007.

Merry Christmas Michel:

    Among other airplane projects I am involved in.  I'm 1/3 owner of a 

first issue (1959) C-150.  We are rebuilding it's O-200 which is on a stand 

out in the garage, is that "easy access" or what?  Attached is a pic.  Is 

this the measurement you are seeking?  If not, please clarify and I can step 

out and try again.  With my finest "Chinese" micrometer, I think you can see 

in the pic the measurement is 1.021".  This is measuring a coat of paint on 

each side as well.  If you need more, just ask.  What Franklin do you have? 

We have a Franklin 4A-235.  Ours is a PZL engine with a retrofitted 

"Syracuse" (Syracuse = US made) Franklin oil sump and intake system.  This 

supposedly adds extra HP.  We bought it to install in the C-150 but nearly 

everyone on our airport (most who have never spoken to the FAA) say that 

field approvals are nearly impossible to get.  We may get to it one day.

Ah!  You make my day...



It appears you have measured the thickness of the

inner portion... what about the outside dimension?  (I

think this is where the seat sits).



I'm also very interested in all information I could

get for the Franklin engine... you you have the -B31

model?  (this is what I have).  I am also unsure about

what mount busings to use for the lower mount points

(they are different from the top ones, but it seems

that the outside rubber parts are the same).  Very

interested in learning about this oil sump and intake

system.



Regards and merry christmas!



Michel
