Ron,

I have selected the IO-233 as well.  I understand it uses a dynafocal mount which I purchased from Zenith along with the cowl.  I also am sending my R wing tank back to Zenith to install a fuel return plumb point in the top of the tank.  I have a lot of hours behind Lycoming and feel it will be a very reliable engine option. 

 

I understand the dry weight is 197lbs. which is a bit heavier than Jabiru (182 lbs)

Lucky you Paul, The installation should be similar with the exception of injection. Is your engine complete with exhaust manifold, oil cooler muffler and etc. What cowling?, prop?

I'm going with an 0-235 just because I have one

I like Lycoming's way of doing things better than Continental's. However, like others, I'd be interested to know how much weight they actually managed to reduce. It's too late to change now, but weight was the reason I went with an O-200 instead of Lycoming.

Do you know how much heavier than the 0-200 it will be (installed weight)? Have they actually delivered any engines yet? Is it experimental or certified? Did they drop the fuel injections and go with carburetor? Are they calling it 115hp? At what rpm does it make 115hp?
