RV-6 Lycoming O-320
As I possess a Van's RV-6 with a Lycoming O-320 which has never flown
aerobatics and whose fuel and lubrication systems are not adapted to
this purpose I would be grateful if you could enlighten me on the following:
* What modifications are necessary for the carburettor for aerobatics,
whether it can be modified or needs replacement
* How can a Christen oil system be installed for lubrication for
aerobatics
* Which companies in Europe can do such modifications or upgrading
* Approximately how much would such modifications/upgrading cost (just
in case you have any idea, as I can ask any qualified companies myself).
This is sent both in the RV-6 and Lycoming lists.
Thanks.
Kind regards,
George Nielsen

for RV-6 Lycoming O-320
I have an IO-320 that I would sell for $8000 but I believe the shipping costs would
be a bit too much. my email address is jdhcv@yahoo.com
*If you have missed knowing me, you have missed nothing. If you have missed
some of my emails, you may have missed a laugh. But, if you have missed
knowing my LORD and SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST you have missed everything in the
world.
May God's blessings be upon you.*

There=92s nothing stopping you from flying aerobatics behind that engine
now George =85 it=92s just that you can=92t sustain negative-G for very
long without the engine sputtering and the oil pressure dropping, but
you could do all sorts of interesting gentleman=92s aerobatics
nonetheless. At least you don=92t have to worry about an oil-pressure
related prop overspeed =85 given the fixed pitch.
It=92s hardly worth adding the extra complexity and weight to an O-320.
The inverted oil system also acts as a very long breather tube, so the
accumulation of combustion by-products in those pipes during upright
flight (most of the time) is carried back into the sump when you roll
inverted and oil flow changes direction - which predicates more frequent
oil changes.
