I am considering the purchase of a 0-320 E2A. I understand this to be a 150 hp @ 2700 rpm and 140 @ 2450. It has a 7.00/1 C.R. uses a dynafocal 1 mount. It has a straight riser in the oil sump and -32 carb. The guide shows 3/8" attaching bolts. I assume it has 2 mags.
I have a few questions.
Why would there be 2 seperate hp and rpm ratings on an engine? How are the rpm's limited in the 140 hp application? (prop pitch?)
This engine uses 3/8" prop attaching bolts my finish kit is set up for 7/16" I have read that the bushings can be replaced with a puller. Is this a simple fix? I would assume minimal cost. This engine was overhauled in 2000 and it appears to have been sitting. What measures should be taken to preserve an engine that is going to be sitting for a long time? Has anyone installed this engine? If so I would appreciate your opinion on the suitability of this engine in a rv9a application. Planning a fp metal sensatech prop.
Thanks
