Engine Shop Selection (was 'showing metal @ 1,100)

I did forget about them - I knew a little about them after spending some
time at BUY...

Re the big name shop - given my current assesment that getting the
problem fixed short of a full overhaul makes sense for me - I'm staying
away from the big name overhaul shops.

Thanks.

Hi MD,

Don't overlook Triad Engines just up the road at Burlington (BUY). They
have overhauled 2 engines for me, an O360 in a Cherokee and an IO-360 in
the Mooney. I've been very satisfied. Othman Rashed 800-334-6437. Stop
by for a tour of their facility, Othman will show you around.

I've also had an engine done by one of the big-name national
overhaulers, and it was a less than satisfactory experience. I won't do
that again.

You can have your propeller done at the same time at H&H Propeller, in
the same building.

If you're not AOG, you can fly it up to BUY and have them do the R&R,
too, and probably save on shipping. Let me know if you need a ride home .
