Anyone tell me what the exact HP of a LYCOMING O-320-E2A

Exact Power. No, unless you put each engine on a calibrated dyno, then make adjustments for the atmospheric conditions.

I meant as per the book not an individual engine. I am not that naive.

Anyway final 3 greens constructive link was what I needed, the particular engine in this aircraft is rated at 160hp. many thanks.

Hmm... a useful reference site, that, but for the Pipers I know well, (Warrior II, Archer II/III, Super Cub 95) they look like somewhat optimistic "brochure" figures.

[yakker]

Sorry Bose but you did ask for EXACT power, not what Lycoming hope their engine will produce when new and on a good day, as lowtimer says 'brochure power'.

I have the O-320 series operator's manual. Do you want the maximum sea level power at max RPM, or something more suited to cruise?

[S-Works]

thanks bookworm. "average" cruise and speed would be ratehr handy if you could oblige?

[bookworm]

Sorry, to clarify it's just the engine manual, not an aircraft manual. If I give you full-throttle power vs RPM at a number of altitudes, will that help?

[dublinpilot]

The Cruiser 140 that I fly will give 100kt ias at 2000ft, with a rmp of 2350.

Hope that helps.

bookworm, yes it would thanks.

Bose-X,

I believe Skyline at Little Gransden are operating two or three Cherokee 140s, one of them (i think it was Victor Oscar) was supposed to be a particularly nice example. It's not far from you so might be worth trying one out to see what numbers it delivers and whether you find it a pleasant experience.
