What do you think about the o-300d engine in the c172e?
I also have an O-300D in my C172E and like it very much. It runs smoothly and has not had any major problems. I had an O-200 in my 150, which is similar but only 4 cylinders, and also worked well for the time I had the plane. I especially like the smoothness of the engine compared to 4 bangers. It starts pretty much on the first try every time.
Is the o-300d worth it?
Well, here’s another vote in favour of the O-300D. Valves stick, it’s a fact of life, especially when 60-year-old engine technology meets 4x design level lead in 100LL. If an exhaust valve sticks on a 6-cylinder, you’ve still got 5/6 of your engine pumping away (and making up for the drag of the non-working cylinder).
