Could anybody explain what does the engines codes mean (A,,B,C, etc). I?m planning to buy and overhaul an used O-360 and I need to know if it will fit in my RV-8.
Thanks
Thanks
An RV-8 (non A) will fit almost ANY Carbed (O) 360 except the series out of a Grumman tiger/Cessna Cutlass (I think it's a -G? Horizontal mounted carb). The A series are the most common.
......
...O-360-A4K from a Grumman Tiger that would not work in either -8 model.
The same sump with a rear facing carb. is also used on these other models...
-A1G6
-A1G6D
-A2G
-A4G
-A4J
...and also won't work without carb, sump and intake pipe swapping at a minimum.
Not all -A models are created equally....
Hi Steve,
I had previously downloaded some of your links. However I can no longer open the files. I am trying the links again, but they seem to not work.

If you're wanting some 'light' reading on lycoming engines you might like to look at the Key Reprints of the Lycoming Flyer (http://www.lycoming.textron.com/supp...e/key-reprints)
Would anybody have these documents? Specifically "engine_choices.pdf".
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
AJ
