The O-300 is a modernized C-145 and retains the same weight, dimensions, bore, stroke, compression ratio, displacement and output power of the earlier engine

What's the point of "modernizing" it if you don't reduce weight or increase power (or both). Sounds like they spent a lot of money on engineering, testing, and qualifying it without ending up with a better product. In an ideal world, some folks would lose their jobs over a costly fiasco like that.
