cost of overhaul of the 0-300

[Skylane81E]

Some precision measurement, some NDT, some mandatory replacement parts check ADs and SBs and reassemble per instructions with a new gasket set.

Replace parts that fail the above with new, serviceable, or farm out repair work...

Do you perform overhauls in your shop Duncan?

 

[Skylane81E]

For our planes. Not sure if we offer the service to customers.

I got a good start on assembly today

Every time I see a nice clean overhauled engine I get jealous.

Don't be jealous, just break out the bucks.

I'm kinda jealous of the reasonably clean shop the engines are sitting in myself.

Don't be jealous, break out the broom!

My shop is the kitchen in my apartment, crowded single stall garage or friends rented t-hangars... Depends on the projects.

That's my hangar at BVS, I bring the jeep in and close the door and turn on the heat.

I try to keep it clean.

The problem I have in my house is I controll the airplane and my wife controls the bank account. If my engine passes annual every year I am stuck with it. My transponder didn't do to well so it was replaced. I married smarter then me (not hard to do) so I just play the game.

 

[Tom-D]

Assembly pretty much done.

Hey Tom, just curious, do you still overhaul engines?

 

[Tom-D]

What about the cost of overhaul or replacement of the mags, new harness and plugs, rebuilt carburetor, starter, starter clutch -or drive on the "D", repair or replacement of the rotted out sumo, rework of the rods, replacement of any bad gears........?

Send me junk, you get a bigger bill just like you. accessories are just that, you want them, you buy them.

 

[Tom-D]

Almost. It's all a marketing game.

Overhauled - contains used parts that are at serviceable limits.

Overhauled to new limits - very similar to a factory rebuilt engine except the total time clock is not reset and the engine still has a history and old logbooks.

Rebuilt - Can only be performed by the OEM. Can also contain used parts as long as they meet new limits. ONLY the OEM can issue new logbooks and "zero time" the engine.

Factory New - Should not contain any used parts.

Remanufactured - doesn't have an official definition by the FAA and can mean whatever the manufacture wants, usually overhauled.

That is not true, read the rest of the regulation FAR 43.2 dictates what REBUILT means and any A&P can complete an overhaul to the requirement

for very few individuals, If I can't service the engine after installation I will not do the overhaul.

 

[Tom-D]

Thanks for posting this. I bet a lot of folks did not know this. Those that do and repair your engine without telling someone about these guidelines....

I simply tell the owner to read FAR 43.2, when they have questions ask.

 

[Tom-D]

Thing to remember your engine is not overhauled if the return to service entry doesn't say it is.

Ok, thanks for the heads up! Unfortunately I am in CA and have been looking for a decent mechanic for a few months to no avail.
