NOTE 4. The "6" in the engine model designation indicates the crankshaft has five 3rd order and one 6th order torsional
vibration dampers. The IGSO-480-A1F3 and GSO-480-B1B3 have four heavy 3rd order and two 6th order torsional
vibration dampers.
NOTE 5. All engines incorporate provisions for absorbing prope ller thrust in both tractor and pusher type installations.
NOTE 6. Military Models 0-480-1 and -3 ar e identical to the corresponding civil designated engines except for ignition, which
are the TCM+ S6LN-22 and S6RN-23 with AN 3105, primary ground terminal. When installed in certificate
aircraft, the corresponding commercial model designations and type certificate number should be added to the
engine data plate.
