I'm hopelessly confuse about aircraft engines, piston engines to be exact. I do understand that there are two main engine manufactures Lycoming and Continental but I don't fully understand which aircraft mfgs use which. I have heard Piper uses Lycoming as does Mooney but Beech and Cessna use continentials.
More specifically I'm confused about the engine model names and numbers! For example a Lycoming IO 360 is not Three hudred and sixty horse power is it? Help whats in an engine name that tells me something about the engine?
