Motor Lycoming IO 540 AC
Motor Lycoming IO 540 AC
540 Series
This beast handles any burden.
The Lycoming O-540 series engines are six-cylinder, direct-drive, horizontally opposed, air-cooled models. The cylinders
are of conventional air-cooled construction with heads made from an aluminum-alloy casting and a fully machined
combustion chamber. Rocker-shaft bearing supports are cast integral with the head, along with housings to form the
rocker boxes. The cylinder barrels have deep integral cooling fins, and the inside of the barrels are ground and honed
to a specified finish. The IO-540 and TIO-540 (turbocharged) series engines are equipped with a fuel-injection system,
which schedules fuel flow in proportion to airflow. Fuel vaporization takes place at the intake ports. A turbocharger(s)
is mounted as an integral part of the TIO-540 series. Automatic waste-gate control of the turbocharger provides constant
air density to the fuel-injector inlet from sea level to critical altitude.
