Accessories such as generators, starters, fuel and vacuum pumps, etc. previously listed in NOTE 3 are satisfactory for continued use with these engines. Accessories of these types are not integral engine accessories and therefore are not evaluated for approval during engine certification testing.

NOTE 5. The above engines incorporate the following detailed differences: (a) Includes Model 0-290-A engine, Serial No. 107-6, with ratings, temperature limits, compression ratio, carburetor, and ignition timing the same as for Model 0-290. (b) Serial No. suffix "S" identifies engines incorporating No. 10 spline crankshaft. 0-290-C engines, Nos. 568-6 to 597-6 inclusive, originally incorporated the 6 bolt propeller flange. Propellers having at least a 4- 3/4 in. thick hub are required with these crankshafts.

(d) Military Models 0-290-1, 0-290-3 and 0-290-11 are identical respectively to 0-290-B, 0-290-C and 0-290-D. When they are installed in certificated aircraft, the corresponding commercial model designation and Type Certificate No. 229 should be added to the engine nameplate. (e) Model 0-290-D similar to Model 0-235-C1 except for 0-290-A cylinder, piston and connecting rod assemblies, reinforced crankcase and crankshaft and is eligible for both tractor and pusher type installations. (f) Model 0-290-D2 similar to Model 0-290-D except crankcase, higher compression ratio, hydraulic tappets, camshaft, intake valves and associated parts. (g) Model 0-290-D2A similar to Model 0-290-D2 except has provisions for controllable propeller and propeller governor or alternate fuel pump. (h) Model 0-290-C Serial No. 1446-6 has been modified in accordance with C.E. Wilson Drawing #2 to incorporate revised generator and magneto drive gears. With this modification, the engine is restricted to 125 hp. at 2600 r.p.m. for takeoff and maximum continuous. (i) Model 0-290-D2B similar to 0-290-D2 except for compression ratio, ignition timing and propeller governor provisions. (j) Model 0-290-D2C similar to 0-290-D2B except has retard breaker magnetos S4LN-204, -200. 5 E-229 NOTE 6. The approvals for the following models have expired. No engines of these models manufactured after the indicated date or with a higher Serial No. are eligible is certificated aircraft: Model Serial No. Date 0-290 872-6 2-25-44 0-290-B 1448-6 7-10-45 0-290, -A, -AP, -C, -CP 2070-6 3-10-50 0-290-D2A 5720-21 10-15-53 NOTE 7. Model 0-290-D2 is approved for horizontal mounted helicopter application at the following ratings: Maximum continuous hp., r.p.m., sea level pressure altitude 135-2600-S.L.
