400 SERIESCONTINENTAL MOTORS 400 GASOLINE ENGINE SERIES You'll often hear pilots referring to the Continental 0-470 in reverent tones as "old reliable”. Powering the majority of Cessna 180 and fixed-gear 182 aircraft from 1953 through 1986, this workhorse of an engine embodies simplicity, efficiency and ruggedness. Its track record speaks louder than words. It's a brawny powerplant. In fact, some versions make full power at a smooth, quiet 2400 rpm. Ranging in output from 225 to 260 horsepower, the 470 engines come equipped with either a very reliable carburetor or Continental's extremely efficient continuous flow fuel injection system. Confidence among pilots can be hard to achieve, but if there was an award for one of the most trusted aircraft engines in the sky, the 400 series would win hands down. Just ask anyone. THE 400 SERIES IS A FAMILY OF 6-CYLINDER, AIR-COOLED, HORIZONTALLY OPPOSED, DIRECT-DRIVE AIRCRAFT ENGINES WITH HYDRAULIC LIFTERS, 2 PUSHROD-ACTUATED VALVES PER CYLINDER, OIL SUMP AND FUEL INJECTION OR CARBURETOR WITH MANUAL MIXTURE CONTROL Certified fuels: Displacement: Power: Maximum Rated RPM: Bore: Stroke: Compression Ratio: Height: Width: Length: Dry Weight: Time Between Overhaul:
