Reciprocating Engine Overhauls
Complete overhauls, top-end overhauls, and carburetor overhauls for reciprocating engines.
We can handle your field overhaul. Broken down into simple steps, here's what we do for major overhauls:
- ›Inspect and deconstruct the engine
- ›Make repairs, or send out parts for repair, as necessary
- ›Reassemble the engine
- ›Test and approve the engine for its return to service
How Long Will It Take?
The time it takes to have your engine overhauled depends significantly on several factors, including:
- ›Supply chain conditions, or whether parts are readily available
- ›Additional problems revealed during inspection
Full Overhaul (Complete / Major)
- ›A complete disassembly, inspection, reconditioning, or replacement of every single component in the engine
- ›We remove the entire engine from the airframe, strip it down to the bare block, clean and test parts, and overhaul to specifications
Best used for: restoring high-time or heavily worn engines that have reached their recommended Time Between Overhaul (TBO) limit.
Top Overhaul (Partial)
- ›Repairs or replaces parts located on the upper section of the engine — such as the cylinder heads, valves, and gaskets
- ›We work on the top components without removing the entire engine block from the airframe
Best used for: addressing issues confined to upper parts, like worn valves, when the lower engine block remains in good condition.
Overhaul work is quoted individually and billed at our standard shop rate — see Rates & Policies for how billing works.
