Our Overhaul Process
Quote & Customer Assistance
After reaching out for a lycoming overhaul quote our process begins with you in mind. We will quickly get in touch to discuss the details of your engine so we can put together an accurate quote. From there we will assist you every step of the way discussing engine removal and freight. We also have affiliates nationwide to make the removal and installation process a breeze.
Incoming Inspection and Disassembly
As soon as your engine is received we perform an incoming inspection and begin the teardown process. Our Lycoming trained technicians disassemble, clean, and inspect all parts for any damage. Each part is documented and stored on a dedicated work cart for your engine. At this stage we also order all replacement parts, gaskets, and cylinders to your specification to ensure the quickest turn time possible by preventing delays later in the process.
Non-Destructive Testing and Certification
Any part that will be re-used such as the crankshaft, crankcase, and certain gears require a very special and detailed NDT (Non-Destructive Testing) to be performed by specially trained technicians. Rather than trying to be a jack of all trades master of none, we simply send out these parts to cherry picked shops who specialize in this testing. We feel it’s much safer to send these parts to a place where all they do is non-destructive testing and certification of aircraft engine parts. This allows us to focus on our speciality of engine assembly and testing.
Crankcase Machining and Certification
The crankcase is sent to one of only a couple speciality shops where it was also undergo detailed NDT Testing and intensive machine work resulting in a case that will last. Again we let the people who specialize in this process perform this critical work so we can put our energy into perfecting the engine assembly process.
Engine Assembly
After the speciality work is completed our Lycoming Trained technicians will begin engine assembly exactly as Lycoming calls out in the latest version of their overhaul manual using all new hardware. We ensure we comply with all ADs (Airworthiness Directives), follow Lycoming Service Bulletins and Service Letters, and use only Lycoming Approved consumables, sealants, and lubricants. Our engines are also always assembled with New Lycoming camshafts and cam followers as we believe in using as many new parts as economically feasible. This is what allows us to offer the best warranty in the industry.
Engine Testing and Run In
The next step in the engine overhaul process is to perform an initial run in. This involves hanging your engine on our test cell and running the engine per Lycoming Test and Run In instructions. Our calibrated digital test cell instruments will tell us if there are any discrepancies or adjustments that need to be made prior to shipping your engine out. Many budget overhaul shops skip this critical step.
Engine Shipping
The final step is to crate and ship your engine back to you for installation on your aircraft. We diligently designed our crates specifically for shipping Lycoming engines to ensure your engine arrives undamaged and in pristine condition. If you like to know more about working with one of our approved installers to eliminate the hassle of removal, installation, and logistics please let us know!

Frequently Asked Questions
There are a lot of variables that go into an overhaul such as what parts are re-used vs what parts are always new. Quality overhaul shops and "field" overhaulers are not equal in many regards.

Overhaul vs Exchange
Work with your shop or one of our approved installers to have your engine removed and shipped to us. Once we receive the engine we will begin the overhaul process. *Please call to verify current turn times as vendor and supplier availability is constantly changing.
For the fastest turn around, choose the Engine Exchange option. This requires engine overhaul price + 12,000 a dollar deposit. Once funds are received, we’ll send you a DSM Overhauled Lycoming engine. Send us your engine back on the pallet. Once your engine is received we’ll disassemble it and send the key parts out for evaluation. After the parts are inspected and certified we will send your deposit back.
