Different cranks than the 400s. Likely from the same foundry in Germany, though.
I wonder if this will be similar to the metallurgy problems that Continental and Lycoming had in their cranks in the past.The crankshaft business must be difficult.
It gets real quiet when the propeller leaves the airframe.
So what was the fix for the 520? Metalurgy or mechanical?

Prop strike or other mechanical damage, I can understand. But the problems like in the XP-400 seems like weird voodoo stuff.

It would be interesting to see what an engineer from Lycoming would think if he ever looked at the insides of a modern outboard motor.
Actually he would just be bewildered and confused, call it Jap crap even if it was designed in this country, and walk away.
I would love to see today what Mazda, Mitsubishi or Honda would build for an aircraft engine today. Or Yamaha, Mercury, Suzuki.
