Theo Hendriks from Flame Aviation starts the newly installed engine for the first time. The Lycoming IO-540 gives a puff of smoke and a smooth start!

  • i don´t think that it´s a new engine! because you don`t get so high RPM at the first runup! ...

  • Well.. you do. Maybe you got the wrong impression because you're not used to hearing four-blade propellers.

  • I love the sound of the four blader on the 6 cylinder. Whats it like on takeoff? Do you find it produces more left turning tendency upon adding power?

  • Yes, you definitely have to use a lot of right foot pressure on take off.

  • is the engine fuel injected or carbureted i would like to know thanks

  • It is injected. The full type designation is IO-540-C4D5.

  • new engine? well fist off they do get a break in after overhaul, at least for a few hours. I work for an engine O/H shop. we run our engines for several hours and get all our numbers in the good before sending it back to the customer. break in for new cylinders and or rings is around 50 hours running 20w 50 mineral oil then switched to ashless dispersant oil after

  • I would love to know more about the airplane itself.

  • It just goes on and on doesn't it?? ...and the GTSIO-520 sounds great too.

    You can hear alot of exhaust muffling common with all 'T' applications when something like a Cheiftain fly's overhead.

  • Lets not forget Lycoming's TIO-540 range of engines (T denotes Turbocharging, instead of Teledyne Contental's TS prefix.) Continental also have an engine called the GTSIO-520, used on the Cessna 421 Golden Eagle. The right hand engine in a Piper PA-31 Chieftain is the LTIO-540 (Left rotating- Turbocharged- Injected- Opposed). This allows it's engines & props to be contra-rotating.

  • And goes as far as

    TSIO (turbosupercharged - injected - opposed) and IGSO (injected - geared - supercharged - opposed)
