LYCOMING IO540

[Thor RV10]

I am thinking about having my oil pan CNC machined and having a friend of mine use his machine shop to make a proto type. Anyone know the dimensions and weight?

Pretty sure the 540 pan is magnesium, so aluminum version would likely be heavier, if sized appropriately. Also need to account for the strength factor, as the pan carries most of the engine weight, unlike the 4 cylinder models.
