Does anyone have experience with 0-360-J2A engines?
These engines were reduced to 145HP for operation in helicopters.
There is a RV that has one installed on it. The logbook states it has been converted to 180HP by changing the carburetor. Is that is all that is required?

The engine has lighter cylinders, is that going to be an issue?

Any other gotchas?

Positive/Negative comments on the engine?

Pm smokey ray. He put one in the rvx. You could search for rvx and find a lot of talk about the performance and engine.

Might try a forum search for J2A and you'll find several threads related.
