Teledyne Continental C75, C85, C90 & O-200 (C4077-90960) - 1976-Present
Official Teledyne Continental Engine Overhaul Manual | Aircraft Engine Binder.
- Authorized: For C75/C85/C90, 4 cylinders establish the standard cooling system operation.
- Critical: O-200 models feature a 4-1/16 inch cylinder bore for enhanced performance.
- Operational: C90 and 0-200 engines have a 3-7/8 inch piston stroke, leading to higher compression ratios.
- Established: The manual covers variations in equipment denoted by suffix dash numbers, which adapt basic engines to aircraft.
- Measured: Carburetor calibration in C90 models differs from C75 and C85 models.
- Maximum: Cylinder heads are identified as aluminum alloy castings with externally finned steel barrels.
