Will an IO-360-BIA fit in the standard T-18 engine compartment? A friend has one he may sell to me but I dont want it if it wont fit. Anyone have any insight? Ryan |

If it's an angle valve, your cheeks will need to be squirreled as the standard cheek will not fit over the valve covers. |

I was afraid of that. Thanks Frasier. |

The angle valve engine is significantly heavier so by the time you put the necessary weight in the tail for proper weight and balance, you will not gain anything. |

B1A is an injected parallel valve motor, should be fine. |

I guess I should just go measure the thing and be done with it. I appreciate all the info. |
