The greatest load on an engine is at TDC on the exhaust stroke, believe it or not, and the load is tensile. The 0200 is a relatively large capacity engine with just four cylinders which means the pistons are large and heavy which means large tensile loads. The load is squared with the increase

Something to remember is that Continental also made a GO-300 that uses the same rods and bearings, and a slightly different piston. ?Same compression, not really any beefier, but turns 3100 or 3200 RPMs. ?They are also a 1200 hour TBO, just for comparisons sake, and often times don't make that.

One of the measures Road & Track used to publish (and maybe they still do) is 'piston feet per mile' referring to how much travel the pistons went at a given RPM in top gear for a mile of distance travelled. Maybe piston feet per hour would be a good measure for any engine used in an aviation mo
