In theory there should be no increase in RPM. That should all be controlled by the prop governor. What is your redline now?
It sounds like you have already disassembled a lot, which may not be necessary. Some planes are limited on rpm by the type of connecting rods, some by the counterweights and some simply by the airframe they were certified for.
I may have a used flywheel available that I could sell you. It may not be for that specific model, but if it fits, then it should work.
I would recommend a call to Allen Barrett at BPE Engines to ask if the counterweights need to be changed.

I have a few problems I need some advice on. Since I am changing from an 0540 to an IO 540, it is my understanding that the engine max RPM will increase roughly 10%. in order for the engine to handle the increase the counter weight and rollers must be changed. If I split the case changing the counterweight would be no problem. I really don't want t split the case. I was told that you could access the counterweight by removing #5 cylinder. I did and can access them: I removed spring clips and rollers but I can't get the loose counterweight out of the engine block through #5 cylinder hole. Has anybody tried this before? If so, what am I doing wrong?
Problem #2 Since I'm putting on electronic ignition, I sent my flywheel off to light speed to get the magnet installed. I told that the flywheel was too old and would not work. Klaus could not supply the part # for a replacement flywheel. If anyone has the right # for the flywheel on a 0540-A1DS that would work I would appreciate it. TD
