Submitted inputs and have received a number of bids from the top Lycoming engine overhauler's in the country. Also, received a very good bid from a shop here in the Phoenix area (Aircraft Engine Specialist) of Chandler, AZ. Overhaul to New Limits, ECI/Titan Nickel Cyl, New Electroair Ign Sys. New Set of Fine Wire Plugs, SkyTec Starter, New Set of Type D Hose.$21,180.00, 1yr Warranty. Would like to know if anyone has had any work completed by this company and if so any warranty issues. Like the idea of staying local is possible.

    mini_23122012-0541_DSC00333.JPGmini_DSC00340a.JPGI just did one myself for a buddy. I recall the parts and other machine work were about 10K. You are talking about new cylinders, where we used first run OH cylinders with new pistons (which saved about $1500). Whatever you do. Trust me on this. Get a new CAM. Do not allow an OH reground CAM. They are not likely to make TBO. He has about 120 hours on the one I did and all good so far.

    ECI sells a kit that is nice. Reground followers are fine... reground CAMs I do not suggest.
