Data plate required information

[rjcthree]

I'm generating a new plate for my experimental overhaul (by me, but using all Lycoming and yellow tagged parts). I have to generate a new data plate, but I don't want to get crazy with info. As I understand it, make, model, and serial are really all that need to be there, and it needs to match what's on my 8130-6 and 8050-88.

If data other than make/model/serial is required, please point me to it? Thanks. Rick.

That's it! Make, Model, and Serial Number, as shown on registration.

Sounds as if you are doing only an engine o/h if that is the case you use existing data plate unless you are doing something not certified i.e. Higher compression.

Since I'm just a builder, I have to take engine off its original cert, right? My searching and understanding of the FARS led me there. I might as well be putting a conversion on....once the engine goes decertified, it's anything but a Lycoming from PA? Rick.

OK, if I add EI to a "non-certified build from YT parts" do I need to alter the existing Lycoming data plate in anyway?

Does it still get reported on the registration documents as a O-360-A1A?

My bad. Since he was talking about "make, model, and serial number", I assumed he was talking about aircraft dataplate.
There is no dataplate requirement for experimental engine.

Thanks for sharing this Mel.

I'm converting an O-320-E2A to 160 HP, fuel injection. I will also be adding at least part of the constant speed hardware to the engine. I don't think Lyc ever built something exactly like this, but it will be close to a D model.

My plan was to put append a "C" for "conversion" to the engine model on the existing dataplate. Is that OK, or would removing it entirely be better?

Same question though...

Is it a 'Lycoming' engine, an 'EXP' engine or an 'Alexander' engine?

It's whatever you want to call it. Once modified, Lycoming would prefer that you call it something else.

Would that still be the case for basically non-modified but a non-certified build?

I'll probably fly it with 2 Slick mags before changing one to EI.
