		  Hey all –  I perused the archives and couldn’t find anything on the 0-540 B2B5 or its suitability for the RV-10.  Anyone know if this is usable, or where I might be able to find out? cj#40410fusewww.perfectlygoodairplane.net

Chris, 

I believe that is a 235 HP motor with 7.5:1 comp pistons in it.   It is compatible with the RV10 if it has the right EARS on the motor mounts.   Is it an O-540 or IO-540?

Chris,



Tim has this info posted on his website at

http://myrv10.com/tips/engine_IO540.html



The basic engine is compatible (it's a parallel valve) however you'll want to check both the mounting ear size as Dean said and also the counterweights.  The 2nd digit in the suffix is usually a '4' if it has the proper counterweights for a Hartzel compact hub prop.  It might also be missing the prop governer drive gear.  Both of these are simple to change (especially with your background).



Take a look at one of the charts on the above web page and you should get all the info you need.

It’s 0-540.  does this mean I can change the pistons and it becomes a 260 hp version?

Sort of... look at the lineage of yours from one of the basic models and then do the same for the IO-540-D4A5.  Most of the differences will be accessories, counterweights, mags, etc.  



For your engine, the jugs will have to come off to change the pistons.  Doing this also exposes the crankshaft counterweights which could changed at the same time.  The other obvious thing was that your engine doesn't have the drive gears for a prop governer.  I took a quick look at the parts manual and it appears that you would have to split the case to put them in.



Let me know if you want/need more info and I can get you more detail.
