When I was ready to buy my 914 I asked the Rotax folks what the difference
was between the certificated and non-certificated versions. The answer was
that there are three differences - the certificated version uses expensive
spark plugs, comes with a piece of paper, and costs a lot more. That made
my decision easy. I went for the cheaper spark plugs.

Hi Fred,
And fot the valuable content: The engines are part for part the same.
Certified engines can be worked on only by certified engeneers, or loose
their certification. Non certified engines can be worked on by anybody,
they won't loose the certification they don't have. The difference is only
in the paperwork, and maybe in the run-in/testing in the factory. But you
were joking weren't you?
