One of the big advantages to the O-200 and the C-85 is that you can really rev them up and get more power out them. I run my O-200 at 3,400 and I know people running them over 4,000 all day. I am not sure if the Lyc can handle that and I have not heard of anyone trying.
The best thing about the O-235 is that it has a 2,600 hour TBO and they normally make it to TBO and beyond. One of their disadvantages is that the cylinders are around $1,300 each where the Continentals are under $800.

For its weight it does not come close to the HP that the O-200 delivers. Also several A&Ps have stated that most O-235s don't actually deliver their rated HP after they get alittle age on them. Yet look at Larry F's O-200 or Troy's O-85 hotrod. -----Original Message----- From: krnet-boun...@mylist.net [mailto:krnet-boun...@mylist.net]On Behalf Of Mark Langford Sent: Friday, August 04, 2006 4:17 PM To: KRnet Subject: Re: KR> Subaru engines Fred Johnson wrote: > My other option has been using an O-200 or 235. If you can afford it, I don't think you could go wrong with an O-200 or O-235. The three fastest KR2s that I know of all use o-200's (Shirley's is a KR1 powered by a 3300cc Jabiru). I don't know of one running an O-235, but that doesn't mean it wouldn't work just fine too.
