FAA registration lists engine type as "unknown"

Unfortuately, the engine could still be an XP-360, Aerosport, etc... It seems they don't always enter the model if it ain't certificated. I know that on my paperwork I listed Aerosport, O-360-A1a, but saddly I get the same 'unknown' entry on my registration.
 
i don't think i have ever seen an experimental airplane listed with a known engine on the faa's pages...
 
This N number was listed in an accident in 1994. Not likely an xp motor.

Uh, not to split hairs, but the moment you bolt it onto an experimental, it is no longer a certified engine. It could however be made to be certified again with a logbook entry by and IA, after being removed.
 
I realize that, Jeff. But it was purchased and registered as a certified engine and I continue to get SBs from Lycoming and ADs from the FAA regarding this engine type.

I was just responding to the question if any experimental airplanes were listed with a known engine type on the FAA's pages.

I thought, perhaps, because, my engine "was" a certified engine, that is why it "is" listed in the airworthiness area of the AC reg.

Sorry for the syntax error,

Roberta
