Motion Offroad Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Love Lycoming engine's but the H2AD is known for lifter problems. The only good thing about the H2AD is you can pull the lifters and inspect easily. Get good at it, cause their are a lot of them out there and you could easily make a living just off that engine doing overhauls! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Sam Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Cool! It's like a big vw engine. Except when a VW engines fails(and it does with a degree of frequency) you just coast to the side of the road, you don't fall out of the sky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
