Well, decided to make that move. I managed to get 2040 hours out of my
engine in my Sundowner, and now have another cylinder acting up (both plugs getting "wet") at slow idle. I just had a cylinder put in (ate an exhaust valve) last month, so instead of nickle and diming my expenses away in this engine, I decided to look into a factory remand engine. So I can be informed when I do talk to the mechanic, has anybody had any dealings with Air Power in Arlington TX? They have a website at www.factoryengines.com. I was told in hangar talk, that a factory remand engine for an 0360 180 horsepower engine would be over $20K, yet this company is offering my engine for $15,7K. Is this a too good to be true site? I found them in the controller.com sales paper. Approximately how much more expenses will I need to do this job? Realizing labor rates are different, but if a mechanic charges $60 an hour, how much in labor can I expect for an engine replacement. Are there other costs I need to prepare for during this engine replacement? Thanks for your time in answering. Allen |
