Americans Aircraft Engines, Collinsville, OK feedback requested

[Bob R.]

Has anyone used AAE in Collinsville for engine overhaul? Looking for feedback. Was quoted 5-6 months for my Continental TSIO-360. Any input is appreciated.

I have no idea what the availability is on these cylinders, but this is one engine on which you don’t want to put rebuilt cylinders. If cylinders are a year out, as an example, is this company promising something that’s impossible? I would check with Air Power to see what the lead time is on cylinders. That may give you a benchmark. 

Not being certain on supply of parts may leave your engine down 12-18 months as some have found out, while the engine rebuilder is not out much having your engine sitting in a crate in the corner.
