Aeio 360 M1b

[henriquerv9]

Hi all,

Today I received a really good deal on a "0Km" lycoming AEIO 360 M1B. I would like to know if there are any restriction on using this engine on a RV9A other then power rating. It will fit in a dynafocal engine type and as well as cowln fitting?

Is there any issue a should take particular care? As fas as i know, this engine is stocked for about 15 months since left the factory and its still in original crate.

I still dind't see it, but I will check it on next week, so i would like to have a "checklist" to be aware of.

Any opinions will be appreciate.


Regards


Henrique Castro

AEIO/IO-360-M1B is a horizontal sump engine. Can you put that in an RV-9? If you can fine, if not it would require a sump and intake pipe change to get to a vertical sump set up.
Good Luck,
Mahlon

the M1B is also 15 lbs heavier dry than the 320, so refigure your CG

Consider restricting RPM to 2400 to reduce the HP output to 160 .
