Do I still require baffling for GLADIATOR & CENTURION cylinder installs?
No, you can eliminate your baffles entirely when converting to the GLADIATOR and CENTURION cylinders. You do need to plan for a cooler to manage engine cooling. This can be your existing cooling inlets as the source or naca scoop.
Can you use a narrow deck Lycoming core?
No, your core must be a wide deck Lycoming case. This can be defined by an "A" or "E" at the end of your serial number or a HEX nut style base nut. This is applicable for the 360 and S40 variants. Lycoming 320's are also acceptable if originally designed for 160hp from the factory.
Do you sell kits direct to the builder or build shops?
Lycoming performance products are available through approved build centers only. You must fly-in or ship your unit to an approved build center for overhaul.
Do you have pricing available?
Yes, all of our pricing is published on each specifications sheet which can be found on our downloads page.
Are GLADIATOR and CENTURION Cylinders Liquid cooled?
Yes, the very intention of our products is to eliminate shock cooling, excessive heat by inefficient air cooling and poor baffling.
Are there any weight savings when installing the liquid cooled cylinders?
Yes, there are significant weigh savings. In fact, you will save 7lbs per cylinder over your air cooled counterpart. That's 28lbs of weight savings on an IO-360 and 42lbs of weight savings for the IO-540.
