Bravoman Posted June 30, 2015 Report Posted June 30, 2015 A little more? Do some searches, they lost a 89 million lawsuit when the NTSB report indicated there was no engine problem, with a 40 year old engine. I can tell you from experience handling crash cases that the NTSB findings are indicative but sometimes far from determinative as to causation.
cujet Posted June 30, 2015 Report Posted June 30, 2015 Why is it that an entire engine assembled from PMA parts is far less expensive than a Lycoming? Most of us understand that purchasing parts "a la carte" is absolutely the most expensive method of acquisition. A $25,000 Honda Accord contains $250,000 worth of parts, if purchased separately. Yet, even if each individual PMA part is purchased new, with local expensive labor factored in, the PMA engine is still far less money. Something is very wrong.
carusoam Posted June 30, 2015 Report Posted June 30, 2015 For comparison... New vs. factory reman for the O1... 48 vs 41 AMUs... http://www.continentalmotors.aero/Engine_Details/Engine_Lookup/ Prices seem to have gone up compared to the post card I had received a few years ago... Note: this may not be exact, but sort of close.... Best regards, -a-

carusoam Posted June 30, 2015 Report Posted June 30, 2015 Yep, box of engine shows up, old one comes out, new or factory reman goes in, old goes in the box headed back to the factory... Sending back first run cylinders and alternator leave you with an emptyish feeling as well.... Best regards, -a-
