Wentworth Aircraft
Has anybody had any dealing with Wentworth Aircraft, Crystal, MN? Particularly, have you had any problems with buying a used engine from them?

My father has had dealings with them several times over the last 25 yrs, he had a light aircraft repair business. Never had any problems. I plan to include them in my search for the right engine when the time comes.

I used them for the engine in my first RV-10. No issues at all but that's been a few years ago.

I purchased my IO-540 V4A5 from them at a great price and great service. Two other builders I know also purchased their engines from them and also had positive experiences.

I did...
I bought an O-360-A4M from them five years ago. They represented the condition accurately, responded in a timely fashon, and sold it at a fair price...
More than 500 hours later, and I'm still happy with the purchase. And they still recognize me at OSH

I bought my IO-540-C4B5 from them back in 2007-2008. They have a good reputation and I would buy from them again.

Integrity.
It's refreshing to know a business that really shoots straight. My buddy bought a mid-time 160 Lyc for his -4 from them. Exactly as advertised...ran well.
Best,

I bought my engine from them, it was a great deal and they gave great service. When the engine arrived, there was no vacuum pump adapter on it, I called them and they shipped one pronto.
I would buy from again no question.

Almost 20 years ago when I was looking for an engine, only Wentworth was willing to spend time with me on the phone to discuss all of the options available to me: New engine, factory rebuild, field rebuild, and of course used engine. While I ended up buying an engine for someone else, I sure was impressed with the service I received as a non-customer.
