All right you engine gurus! (and not so gurus...)
I have a line on a used engine and new prop and was looking for some
feedback on either as to the suitability of use for an RV-10. The
engine is an IO-540-G1D5, 290HP with approx 1100 TTSN (on its first
run)and a top about 150 hours ago. Never a prop strike. It has been
test-cell run
and pickled. The prop is a Hartzell HC-92WK-1D. I am told that this
is the correct prop for this engine, which I assme means they are
certified together.
It is a dynofocal mount. Does that imply they are interchangeable?
Will it fit the mount for the -10?
What kind of things should I be looking for or be aware of. I know
there is a difference in horsepower from what is recommended. What I
am asking for is some guidance in regards to what to ask in order to
determine the overall serviceability of the engine?
Any information you can supply about either is as always much
appreciated.

Best advice is to call Van's and ask them. I talked to somebody
there who suggested that course of action. They can tell you best
what will fit and what won't.

Based on conversations I've had with Vans and other builders, I'm
going to pass on this engine. It weighs about 45 lbs more than the
IO-540-D4A5 and is longer and wider as well.
As a side note, the type certificate data sheet was really helpful
for explaining the differences between different IO-540 engines.
