j3gq Posted September 7, 2017 Report Share Posted September 7, 2017 (edited) Dear all, I am sure many of you know Kerry McIntire's really useful shoptalk articles (knr-inc.com). I consider them a great resource. In more than one of them (ex: engine OH basics) he reminds us that for some older Mooney engines (among them certainly the 231’s TCM TSIO-360-GB, may be the -LB too) it has gotten more and more difficult to find good quality spare parts for an engine overhaul. This can have only become worse since this was written, or not ? Those of you with related good or bad experience during the last 10y, would you please share your experience? Thanks!

Jim F Posted September 7, 2017 Report Share Posted September 7, 2017 Hi j3gq, I would just call an overhauler in your area and ask if they can get spare part for your engine at a reasonable price. I would be in the same boat when I overhaul early next year. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kortopates Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 I have never seen any problem getting TCM or Superior parts. I fly an MB converted SB and although there could be some parts unique to the GB harder to find, I am sure the LB being fully supported is no problem either.

jclemens Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 We have rebuilt several TSIO-360's in the last year, zero issues sourcing parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
