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. The airworthiness of such
accessories is substantiated during aircraft-installation system approvals. The suitability of the accessory to the
engine mounting provisions as described in NOTE 4 of this data sheet must be determined when processing such
approvals.

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.
(c) Models 0-290-AP and 0-290-CP, similar respectively to Models 0-290-A and 0-290-C, incorporate
provisions for absorbing the propeller thrust in both tractor and pusher type aircraft.
(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.
