Lycoming Engine Codes

Hi Folks,

Since several of you have spoken about engines lately and I imagine we
are all eventually interested in one, I thought you might be interested
in the Lycoming Engine Model Code page from the Lycoming Direct Drive
Engine Overhaul manual I bought from Spruce. It reads:

Description of Engine Model Code

Example:    TIO                 	541           E1B4D

I - Fuel Injected              drive        
G - Geared Nose Section     	(cubic inch)
