What is the difference between the XP-320 and XP-360 Engine and a typical Lycoming 320 and 360?
The XP-320 and the XP-360 Engine includes the latest improvements in technology and many other custom enhancements, yet unavailable on standard Lycoming factory engines. * The crankcase has been strengthened with reinforced cylinder decks. The reinforced crankcase cylinder deck eliminates deck to deck cracking. * The crankcase offers a balanced oil system. Totally redesigned, the balanced oil system lubricates the camshaft from both sides to reduce oil pressure fluctuations and to equalize oil-flow through the entire engine. * Pressured oil lubricates the crankcase thrust face, reducing friction on the loaded surface of the case where the crankshaft pulls the case forward. This process actually acts as a cooling system as well.
