Hirth's most popular engine! The 3203 produces more horsepower and
torque per pound than any other engine in its class. The Hirth 3203 is the
forerunner in power plants for the
heaviest
of ultralight trainers, gyrocopters and light experimental aircraft.
Factory recommended TBO is rated at 1000 Hrs. @ 75% power.
3203 incorporates Al-Nikasil coated cylinders for superior
performance and reliability. Al-Nikasil in simple terms is a nickel based
material, applied in a paste form, when super heated it becomes part of
the cylinder itself.
Al-Nikasil provides for a super low coefficient of friction, reducing
engine heat and wear. The pistons and cylinders expand at the same rate
thus providing for a seizure resistant engine. 3203 crankshaft is 4130
chromemolly steel.
Heads, cylinders, rings, block casting, connecting rods and associated
components are all of the highest grade alloys available.
