  1. After looking what he told me (Lycoming Worker) vs what he sent me ( Removal and reinstallation labor in accordance with the Lycoming Removal and Installation Labor Allowance Guidebook (SSP-875) was different. So it may be my bad for not getting involved I sent the email to Gann and thought it was between them two so I was not worried about it. May wind up being a costly lesson. I was told Gann had to do the invoicing and he did but made it clear to me after the work was done that he worked for me not Lycoming but would bill them for me but I had to pay him when I picked up the plane and I did.

  2. I do have a Mooney M20M with the TIO-540-AF1B engine in it. Like I said I bought all new cylinders two or three years ago and as you see in my last post they recalled them and said they could not tell me the problem but they had to be replaced but they would cover everything. Ricky
  3. Below is what they sent me on the cylinders. Thanks for your help I did text Carlos today and he said they did not pull the motor. When I talked to him he said they did not pad it any either. They done the annuitant at the same time and it was like 300 or 400 dollars less than normal because they were already in the engine and oil ect. I got a quote from Joey Cole at Cole aviation who is a Mooney service center and he quoted 50 to 55 hours at 90 per hour. He said he had done a few of them and that what it took to do it right. I don't know but was charged 15 hours to replace the exhaust last year so 50 to do the cylinder don't sound that much out of place to me.

  4. Carlus Gann is a good engine builder from all I have been told and I have been happy with his work. Carlus said he did not want to fight the fight because he had been down that road before and lost with them on other deals.
  5. Thanks for the information, I think he did not pull the engine and I do have oil leaks that I did not have before the overhaul. The ads were Service Advisories No. SA 149 & SA 150 I did not have but about 140 hour on the engine and it was running great. I had it back about two months and 35 hours on it with problems this time. Ricky
  6. This is my first post I have a 1994 M20M that I have had for 4 to 5 years. I rebuilt the engine two years ago and did a fire wall forward rebuild. Everything was fine with the motor and Lycoming called and said they was a recall on the cylinders and I had so many hours or till next annual to replace them but they would cover the cost. I took it back to Gann Aviation who rebuilt the motor to start with and I was happy with. They took 50 hour at 70 per hour to do the job and now Lycoming has come back and said they will only pay 20 hours at posted shop rate. 20 sounds way low to me. So my question is has anyone had a top overhaul done and if so what was the time charged to swap the 6 cylinder and put everything back to gather? I called one other Mooney service center and they estimated 50 to 55 hours to do the job. Thanks Ricky
