Thanks all....
I think I understand the difference between certified and experimental.
But I see references to two different experimental versions - the YIO
and the XIO. I'm wondering if anyone knows the difference between these.

The 'IO-540 I got thru Vans appears to be officially listed in the doc
as a YIO-540. The 'experimental' and lower priced engine option. In
other write-ups I see references to XIO-540s.
What's up with that?

A year + ago, I had to call Williamsport (I wanted the larger starter motor, which they exchanged with mine for no charge). While I was on the phone I asked them the difference between "X" and "Y", since this appeared to be new at that time. He said there is no difference. Just that Lycoming decided they wanted to keep track of where engines are going, so experimental engines sold by Vans are "Y"'s; those sold by others are "X"'s. At least, that's what he told me. Presumably if there was another large retailer, those would be "Z"'s.
