G'day Phil,
Our list has many members who are blessed with thousands of hours 'behind'
GO480 and GSO480 engines.
Over the years our list has hosted great discussion on the pros and cons of
these and other Commander engines...particularly relating to 'caring' for
geared engines.
Maybe it is time to re-visit those days with the 'promise' that no mention
of sumps occur!
Cheers
Russell

Mason and commander list,
There were two types of excalibur conversions, the IO 720 and the GSIO-540.
There were also GO 480 versions and GSIO 480 versions.
I've heard all kinds of scary stories from people who have not actually owned
and flown the GIO series of Lycomings, and then I've heard from a few folks
who have flown behind them who really like them for smoothness, quietness,
etc. I'd be quite comfortable owning and flying a GO 480, but I'd be really
interested in talking to someone who as actually flown behind GSIO 480s or
GSIO 540s about their experiences and any idiosyncrasies related to the
supercharged versions.
Phil
