Hello
Does any body know the meaning of the suffix for the lycoming o 360 j2a mounted on the r22 beta II?
I know that O stands for carburated engine with horizontally opposed cylinders and 360 is the cubic displacement of the cyclinder in cubic inches.

Many thanks

145 hp (108 kW) at 2700 rpm, Minimum fuel grade 91/96 avgas, compression ratio 8.50:1. Same as the C1C except has O-320-B2C prop flange bushings, lightweight cylinders and lower power rating for helicopter use, used in the R22

Many thanks 500, although in the limitation sections says that the approved fuel grade is 100/130. I had surfed the web prior to posting the question but i could nt find any legen for the specific combination of symbols corresponding J 2 A.
Any idea what each letter correspond to?
