Talk:Continental O-346

This should be the name of the article as th IO is an subtype with fuel injection not the other way around. - — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.56.11.141 (talk)


 * The article is at Continental IO-346 because there is no Continental O-346 model, all produced were Continental IO-346s. The Continental IO-346 isn't a sub-type of the Continental O-346, because there were no Continental O-346s. - Ahunt (talk) 14:09, 7 May 2014 (UTC)
 * True but naming conventions and frequent references to the 0-346 make a strong case. The base motor is an O-346 even if never (not sure of the historical development) produced without fuel injection. The IO-version is still a subset because if an O-346 was later developed (unlikely now) it would cause confusion to the naming convention. It really does not matter as long as it all redirects to the same. It is my 2 cents as an aircraft engine mechanic. 172.56.11.141 (talk) 15:25, 7 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Actually since there never was an O-346 the base version is the IO-346, which is what the Continental IO-346 article states. Also Continental O-346 redirects there, so anyone who types it in can find it. I am not sure what the point of moving the article to a name of an engine that was never built would serve. Other than this talk page there is now nothing that links to Continental O-346. - Ahunt (talk) 15:33, 7 May 2014 (UTC)
