BASIC DESIGN FEATURE
The TSIO-360 Series engines are air cooled, having six horizontally opposed overhead inclined
valve cylinders. The cylinder displacement of 360 cubic inches is achieved with a
4.44
inch
bore and a 3.88 inch stroke. The TSIO-360 engines are turbosupercharged and have a
7.5
to
1
compression ratio. The TSIO-360 series is fuel injected with an up-draft runner induction
system. The crankshaft is equipped with pendulum type counterweight dampers that suppress
torsional vibrations.
The TSIO-360 engines have a doweled six bolt hole configuration propeller flange.
A
mounting
pad is provided to utilize a hydraulic controlled governor for the constant speed propeller.
The TSIO-360 series engines are of a wet sump design with a positive displacement oil pump
installed in the lower portion of the accessory case. The desired oil pressure is maintained by
a pressure relief valve located on the left side of the accessory case. Engine cranking is
accomplished by a geared right angle drive starter adapter and a direct current starter motor.
The oil cooler is installed on the left rear side of the crankcase rearward of the No.2
cylinder. The engine is equipped with two gear driven magnetos. The exhaust system may or
may not be supplied with the engine by the engine manufacturer depending
on the particular
engine model.
