Hi Guys,
I am evaluating if I am going to buy a RV10 XIO-540-D4A5 from Vans or Other. (Their Oshkosh engine prop combo looks very promising)
2 years ago I bought a stock standard XP-IO-360 for my RV7, a beautifull engine even in standard trim with nice anidozed casings and black cylinder heads etc. It was cheaper then a lycoming and looked much better too.
Now I see the std Lycoming Engine offered by Vans is a ugly grey, looks like they just painted the whole thing after it was assembled.
How I wish XP was still around and made 6 cylinder engine!
Here is my Question:
I am not after a better performance i.e. hot engine, just a stock standard, hopefully better looking and maybe better balanced engine, at a better price.
For the guys that recently did the calculations, can you get a better stock engine deal from one of the engine assemblers out there????
Thanks in advance,
Regards
Rudi
