 |
|
Hi
Today I got a line on an IO-540 AE1A5 engine that was in a helicopter. It has 500 TSNew. It has had a the helicopter equivalent of a prop strike and so needs to be inspected etc.
Can anyone tell me if it possible to use this engine as a core for use in a -10. I would plan on having the engine inspected / overhauled / converted for use on my project if it makes economic sense.
Inquiring minds need to know...

Hi Les,
I don't thing this engine will be a good fit unfortunately. The IO-540 TCDS describes it as follows:
-AE1A5 - Similar to O-540-F1B5 with IO-540-K angle valve cylinders, pistons,
piston squirts and fuel injection and induction system.
It will have angle valve cylinders which are too wide for the RV-10 cowl. It also weighs 416 lbs vs. the 379lbs of the stock D4A5. I'm not sure, but it's also likely that the sump and/or case geometry may cause issues.
