The IE2 series represents a significant step forward in general aviation propulsion technology.

Key Features of the Lycoming IE2 Engine:

1.Configuration:

Horizontally opposed (flat-four) cylinder arrangement.

Air-cooled design.

2.Fuel System:

Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) system for precise fuel delivery.

Improved fuel efficiency and smoother engine operation compared to carbureted engines.

3.Power Output:

Produces 160 horsepower (HP) at 2,700 RPM.

Designed for optimal performance in light general aviation aircraft.

4.Weight:

Lightweight design, weighing approximately 260 pounds (118 kg).

5.Emissions:

Meets FAA and EPA emissions standards for lead-free aviation gasoline (avgas).

Designed to run on 100LL avgas or unleaded fuels (e.g., UL94 or G100UL).

6.Compression Ratio:

Optimized for unleaded fuels, with a compression ratio of 8.5:1.

7.Ignition System:

Dual electronic ignition system for improved reliability and performance.

8.Cooling:

Air-cooled design with advanced cooling fin geometry for efficient heat dissipation.

9.Durability:
