It looks as though Teledyne Continental Motors are running into bad times at present with the economic depression...>>>

Lay-offs and short-time working, end of 2009-2010!
I wonder what major differences there are, between the Teledyne Continental and Avco/Textron Lycoming motors, for similar engine sizes, for replacement purposes?
I suppose there could now be a Lycoming Motor hiding under the bonnet of the C150 sporting the "RR" insignia on the outside!... :o...(must have a peek at the Rocker-box covers!)...;)... ;D...!
I wonder if the original Teledyne Continental Radial engine is still available, and being fitted as replacement, when required, on the Boeing Stearman?
Paul... :)...!
The Lycoming O- 235 (100-135 HP) engines are fitted to the Cessna 152.....>>>
