Does anyone know of an RV3 flying with the O235L2C (or any for that =
matter)? I am on the verge of going this route but one person, an IA =
that specializes in Grummans, told me he doesn't like these engines, =
primarily because they have solid lifters. He didn't mention any other =
specifics, just a general dislike for these engines. Is he correct and =
what is the general consensus of this group?

The L2C has a 2400 TBO. This engine was designed for the newer fuels;
however, if you do an extended dead stick landing, then the no power
approach will result in foiling the lower plugs.
The are numerous publications reference the lifters and they should be
consulted as to the pros and cons.
I own/fly the O-235 L2C engine.

The last RV-3 that Van's had flying, which is now mothballed in Van's home
hangar, had an O-235 installed. They took that engine out to put in the
RV-9A prototype. Don't know about the solid lifters but that should be easy
to find out.

Hi Randy,
The very first RV I flew was an 0-235 powered RV3. It had a very small battery
and photoelectric cell charging system, no starter and very basic panel and
flew better than my current 170 HP RV4. 0-235's can be bought for under 5-7K
low time ready to fly and can run autogas. The bottom line is weight, they weigh
50 lb's less than an 0-320. With the proper flow benching, sparrow-hawk pistons
(115 HP) and a good prop you would have a very fuel efficient, lightweight
fun airplane for high gas price economy...
my 2 cents...
