Who amoung us has experience with the TSIOL-550?
Continental has had a liquid cooled version of the 550 called the TSIOL-550
or simply the "voyager" engine because it was originally developed for the
voyager round the world flight. It been used for years by RAM aircraft
corporation as an STC'd upgrade available for Cessna 414's to replace the
TSIO-520's. The recently announced Extra 400 has it as standard. The Extra
400 is the first serious competition to the Malibu Mirage in the cabin class
pressurized single market. Check out the Extra 400 out at:

Has anyone used it in a IV-P?  It apparently is very similar dimensionally to
the air-cooled TSIO-550E engine. It eliminates shock cooling and shock heating
problems and its internal tolerances, at least in the cylinders, are tighter
since temperatures are much better controlled.  It supposedly runs cooler at
altitude also. People who've used it for years in Cessna 414's rave about
it.

How about some IVPs for sale:
