I have an IO540 C4B5 engine (narrow deck). Does anyone know if the governor sold by Vans is correct for this engine? I understand there is different gearing for narrow vs wide deck 540s.

Search the archives. If my poor memory served me correctly, Vans sold the narrow deck version, which was odd as there aren't as many narrow deck engines. To be safe, better search the archives and ask Vans, what they used to sell may be different than what they sell today.... I ordered my governor with my prop from MT.

It works fine on our C4B5.

Yes, the MT governor Van's offers is correct for the narrow deck engines.

Jesse,
I just bought a low time C4B5, did you find special considerations with
using that instead of the D4A5?

The only difference anyone has found is the data plate and redline. The D4A5 is same engine with higher redline. If you want to be conservative, use the 2575 redline, but calculate your power percentages off of 260 hp, eg 75% equals 195 hp.

We had to change the ears to the small holes. Other than that it fit fine. There were some slight differences to be adapted with the baffles, but nothing serious. My understanding is the C4B5, while redlined at 2,575, has the correct crank, counterweights and connecting rods to run 2,700 like the D4A5.

The only thing that I recall is you'll need different mounts to install
