Continental 0-200 2000 hour TBO

[Bathman]

Later serial numbers of this venerable engine have a TBO of 2000 hours compared to 1800 of the earlier serial numbers.

Does anyone know what modifications have been carried out on these later serial numbered engines that allow the higher TBO?

TBO is on a Service bulletin, when the SB changed it changed them all.

There is no difference as far as I know.

There is a difference in models, if that is what you are referring to. 0-200-A vs 0-200-D

Thank you. I was referring to the O-200A

To quote continental

"Continental Motors introduced its Gold Standard Factory Rebuilt and New Engines. These engines incorporate improvements in technology and manufacturing processes that have allowed us to increase the TBO"

I was therefore wondering what these improvements are?

IDK, never had a -D apart.
