For a similarly named and broadly similar aircraft engine by another manufacturer, see Continental IO-360.

The Lycoming O-360 is a family of four-cylinder, direct-drive, horizontally opposed, air-cooled, piston aircraft engines. Engines in the O-360 series produce between 145 and 225 horsepower (109 to 168 kW), with the basic O-360 producing 180 horsepower.[1]

The engine family has been installed in thousands of aircraft, including the Cessna 172, Piper Cherokee/Archer, Grumman Tiger, and many home-built types. It has a factory rated time between overhaul (TBO) of 2000 hours[1] or twelve years.[2] O-360 family engines are also widely used in airboats, most notably in the Hurricane Aircats used by the US Army during the Vietnam War.[3]

The first O-360 certified was the A1A model, certified on 20 July 1955 to United States CAR 13 effective March 5, 1952 as amended by 13-1 and 13-2.[4] The Lycoming IO-390 is an O-360 which has had its cylinder bore increased by 3⁄16 inch (4.76 mm), developing 210 hp (157 kW).[5][6]

Series

The O-360 family of engines comprises 167 different models with 12 different prefixes. All have a 361-cubic-inch (5.92-liter) displacement and 5.125 and 4.375 in (130.2 and 111.1 mm) bore and stroke.[4][7][8][9]
