Kris, The #654580 (cool) cooler fits the IO-550N. In fact the "cool" cooler comes on the IO-550G which is identical to the N except for the RPM restriction....
Mike, A couple of questions. Do all the 550N engines have the "hot" cooler? And how/where is the number you quote as the difference between the coolers? The...

Actually, what I meant to ask is if any of you not only have an extra Crossbow 425, but even the older Watson AHRS, just for testing purposes. The Watson was...
