HOWEVER

• You will have 30 more HP and close to 100% more static thrust.  
• You will have a 2018 model Honda, usually built in America - not a 1945 design now sold to China
• You will have 5,000 Honda dealerships from where you can get parts.  
• You will have DIRECT, into the cylinders, fuel injection.  No carburetor anywhere
• You will pay much less for much more.

The question regarding weight should be put to rest permanently with this note.  

This Zenith CruZer was initially built with an O-200 engine up front.

Due to low performance, the engine was removed and a Viking 130 installed in its place.  

The airplane now has 30 additional hp at essentially the same weight.  A true performer.  

There should never again be any reason for anyone to  assume that just because the Viking has superior engine block casting technology, direct fuel injection and 30 more hp, that it is automatically heavier than the old school air cooled.  

So AGAIN, a final verdict between traditional aircraft engine weight and the modern Honda derived aircraft engines: 

THE VIKING ENGINE, WITH THE LIQUID COOLING AND THE ADDITIONAL POWER, IS LIGHTER THAN THE O-200 CHINESE ENGINE

NEW HONDA ACCORD ENGINE BUILT IN OHIO

For now, Honda is keeping the Accord 2.0T’s horsepower and torque ratings under wraps, but the company promises both better acceleration times and better fuel economy than the current V6/6AT Accord (21 city, 33 highway).

The Accord’s 2-liter turbo is identical to that in the forthcoming Civic Type R, save some trimmings and tuning. It has two chain-driven cams, full variable valve timing, one single-scroll turbo with an electric wastegate and an air-to-air charge cooler. Its exhaust manifold is cast into the cylinder head and the engine is loaded with heat-mitigating features, including coolant passages between the bores, sodium-filled exhaust valves and new piston-cooling measures. Honda engineers say it’s substantially lighter than the Accord’s current 3.5-liter V6, but they won’t say precisely how much. The company’s engine plant in Anna, Ohio, will be the sole source of 2.0T production for applications around the world.

An identical long block generates 306 hp and 295 lb-ft in the Civic Type R, which recently set a front-drive lap record at the Nurburgring. Honda’s 2.0T will certainly be de-tuned for the Accord, but it will also add things to deliver the refinement expected in a midsize sedan, including a balance shaft and different engine mounts. It will also pipe digitalized engine sounds into the Accord’s cabin
