Hi guys. I'm looking at an RV-4 that has the LIO-360 (reverse rotating), 200hp engine to buy. I've read mixed opinions about this engine for the -4. Some say the 200hp is not worth it for the added weight (about 40lbs?) compared to the parallel valve O-360. Others seem to be very happy with their 200hp angle valve engines in their -4's.
Anyone care to comment based on experience with either (or both) the 180 and 200hp engines? Besides the added weight, any other disadvantages of the IO-360 angle valve? What about fuel burn? Anything I should look out for in particular when deciding on my purchase?
Thanks!
Brian
