front of the engine for accessories driven from the front pulley of the engine.
** Driving pulley speed. Accessory rotation speed dependent on accessory pulley ratio.
NOTE 5. MODEL DESCRIPTION
IO-370-CL Base Model. Four cycle, four cylinder air/oil cooled, horizontally opposed, direct drive engine with a wet
sump, positive displacement lubrication system, 9.6:1 compression ratio, engine cranking accomplished by a
geared Bendix-style starter mounted on the crankcase that engages an external ring gear, fuel delivery via a
traditional diaphragm-style AC, plunger-driven pump assembly mounted on the rear accessory housing, a
fuel servo mounted below the engine, and a flow divider to direct the fuel flow to nozzles installed in each
cylinder head. The engine is attached to the airframe using a Dynafocal mount.
IO-370-CM Same as the IO-370-CL except the aircraft mounting interface is conical.
IO-370-C1F Same as the IO-370-CL except hot oil sump, straight barrel fins, different cylinder baffle configuration.
IO-370-D3A Same as the IO-370-C1F except straight oil filter adapter; non-counterweighted, solid crankshaft.
IO-370-DA3A Same as the IO-370-D3A except the timing is set to 22° to reduce power.

NOTE 9. ENGINE MOUNT SYSTEM PROVISIONS
The IO-370 has four integral mount legs at rear of crankcase, two on each crankcase half. The IO-370-CL,
-C1F, -D3A, -DA3A crankcase is designed for a dynafocal mount; the IO-370-CM crankcase is designed for
a conical mount. The aircraft manufacturer must incorporate appropriate mounting interface and engine
mount isolators. Engine mount bosses have been tested to meet utility category aircraft load requirements
specified in 14 CFR §23.337.
