*Maximum combined drive load of Vacuum Pump must not exceed 150 in. lb.
**Maximum allowable accessory moments in inch pounds, provided no destructive accessory drive
or mounting pad forces resulting from accessory vibration are present.
Early Wasp Engines incorporate tongue and groove fuel and vacuum pump drives. All later engines
have spline type drives.
NOTE 4. Eligible with an automatic power and mixture control with the NA-Y9C carburetor at a weight
increase of 12 lbs.
NOTE 5. Incorporates both 9th and 4-1/2 order dynamic dampers.
NOTE 6. Eligible with rear crankcase section fabricated from aluminum alloy instead of magnesium alloy
at a weight increase of 13 lbs.
NOTE 7. The S1H2, S3H2 and S1H4 engines are approved for helicopter application and operation. The
S1H2 and S3H2 differ principally from the S1H1 in having a modified lubrication system and a new
carburetor adapter. These modifictions were made in order to enable these engines to operate
properly when mounted at an upward angle of 45° from the horizontal position. The S1H4 engine
is the same as the S1H2 engine except that it incorporates the oil scavenging provisions of the
R-1340-55 engine and a carburetor elbow to permit operation in a vertical attitude. R-1340-61 is
the same as S1H1-G except for dry weight.
NOTE 8. Deleted April 16, 1959.
NOTE 9. Deleted February 1, 1974.
NOTE 10. (a) Ratings are based upon the best power mixture strength and 400°F cylinder head temperature.
(b) A takeoff manifold pressure at 38.0" Hg. may be used with grade 91/96 fuel for S1H1 and
S1H1-G engines.
NOTE 11. The approval for Models S1H2-G and S1H5-G has expired. None of these engines were
manufactured.
