NOTE 4.  The C90-8F is identical to the C90-12F model except that the accessory section does not incorporate 
provisions for generator and starter drives. 
The C90-14 models incorporate Lord type engine mounts which are not interchangeable with C90-12 
models due to different machining of the engine mounting lugs on the engine crankcase. 
The C90-16F is similar to the C90-12F except that vacuum pump drive provisions have been added. 
The Model O-200-B is similar to the O-200-A except for special crankshaft and crankcase providing for 
thrust application toward the engine only. 
The Model O-200-C is similar to the O-200-A except for incorporation of provisions to supply oil pressure 
to a controllable pitch propeller through the crankshaft from an external boss on the crankcase.

Those C90 series models listed in the heading of this data sheet, suffixed by letters H, J, and P, differ 
from the basic model designation as follows: 
"H" denotes a special SAE No. 1 flange crankshaft and special crankcase for the installation of a 
hydraulically operated controllable pitch propeller requiring oil supply through the crankshaft. 
"J" denotes incorporation of Model B-46 Ex-Cell-O fuel injector, P/N 530499, or American Bosch 
Model PGC-4A-95A2, P/N 534505, at a weight increase of 4 lbs. over the corresponding carburetor 
equipped engine. 
"P" denotes pusher installation incorporating special crankshaft and thrust bearing. 
Oil sump gauge rods will be marked as per installer's requirements.
