Does anyone know if a Lycoming IO-540 A1A5 will work in the RV-10??? I
get all kinds of '540' hits in the archives, but nothing model specific.

Linn,
That is an angle valve engine so it won't work. To conserve bandwidth
I'll send you a spreadsheet I made a long time ago with the parallel
valve engines listed.

Linn,
The A1A5 can be used in the RV-10 with a few changes.

Let me retract, the IO-540 A1A5 cannot be used in the RV-10, but the
0-540 A1A5 can. The IO is an angle head, the 0 is a parallel head

According to my research, it should not be a problem. I think only the K
models are angle valve, which would not work. Everything else should be
parallel valve. The only problem you may run into is the mount ears, but
those can be swapped out. There is a guy on the list who has a set to sell
also. According to Allen Barrett, all parallel valve engine are the same
size with a few minor variations, which would mainly come into play on
weight (minor) and fitting the baffles (trimming in different places and to
different extents).

Even if the engine is an angle head engine as a core, it can be changed/
converted to a parallel head. Although it is pretty expensive to do,
several have been changed over. Push rods, tubes, inter-cylinder
baffles, sumps, etc, are the major changes. Some angle head engines are
more costly than others to convert, particularly the 'up exhaust'
engines because of the angle of the tappet body openings. These cases
will need to be converted, required weld and re-machining. It's a matter
of economics. Get the core for the right price and it may be feasible.
Pay the premium for the core and it may not be worth the cost.

The hartzell prop sold by vans may not work due to the absence of counterweights.This could cause vibration iss ues.I am told the counterweights can be retrofitted,good luck.
