about lycoming IO-360 overhaul part list

[sekomel]

hi everyone

hope you are all OK.

I need some advise for my engine overhaul process, please.

I shipped my engine for overhaul (here in Turkey) and after the full inspection, here is the list of parts that I my engine needs.. (please find the attach)

My engine type is: Lycoming IO-360-A3B6D L-26196-51A

 

As all the materials are coming from the US and as I will be in the US for next 6 days I want to bring the all parts it with me.

The problem is, it is really hard to get the original Lycoming part so I find 'Superior' brand parts very quickly and ready to get it, but what do you think about Superior? Has anyone experienced? I am aware of the trustworthiness of this brand and FAA approve but I would like to hear some experiences about it.

 

Thanks a million everyone for your time,

Cheers,

Serkan

I’ve never had any problems with Superior Parts.

There are quite a few things on that list that can be overhauled. Are you getting them overhauled or buying everything new?

I would try real hard to find someone who can gather the parts for you. perhaps superior air parts? Perhaps they can ship as well, I do not know your customs duties etc though. Sometimes that can be expensive.

‘Since your buying a cam and lifters, I’d start immediately trying it get a set of DLC lifters

buying new unfortunately.. mechanics said some parts cannot be overhauled and need to replaced. (especially camshaft, body oil pump and the tappets.)

All of those parts can be overhauled. I was wondering about the fuel injector and manifold. Those are almost always overhauled.

Lycoming used to hold their dealership/vendors close. Aviall is one of the few vendors left. Omaha air parts used to be a lycoming dealer. They were recently purchased by Aircraft spruce. 
I would personally befriend an Engine shop and buy parts through the engine shop directly if you are still having issues.
