continental 0 200 question

[erj-145mech]

all true, Continental had problems with cracking cylinders, so the timing was turned back on the old style cylinder = loss of power output. I would like the new cylinder, so it just wasnt' worth it.

If there was a reduction, you can't measure it. My 150 still made book performance after the re-time. The airplane/engine only had 700 hours total time on it when I bought it. This isn't a high performance powerplant to start with, and I'm not sure that the cracking was from operators using mogas or cylinders that had numerous overhauls on them. No one tracks the times and cycles on the individual cylinders, just the engine assembly.
