Cost for O-360 cylinders

[jscottpilot]

I have just bought a O-360 core for rebuild and cant find prices for new cylinders for this engine on the internet. Does anyone know the approximate price for a new cylinder?

Look to the left on this page at A.E.R.O.
They have what you are looking for. There are other sources but these folks are pretty competitive and I would buy from them when the time comes.

My recollection from almost two years ago is circa $1000 each new.

Of all the things that go up, up, up. Cylinder kits have gone down, in absolute and adjusted for inflation dollars. A good deal.

going up....

ECI from AERO - $1042 for Nickel.... IIRC, seems to be up a bit in the last year - $993 in July 2007 according to the internet archives....

I guess Superior leaving the market did not help....

Genuine Lycoming ones seem to be $1028 from Mattituck

...again a change, the ECI ones used to be cheaper...

If you live in a dry environment, you could use the NEW ECI steel cylinders at $890.59 from AERO. http://www.aeroinstock.com/products/...cat/index.html


I HAD Superior steel cylinders for over 2,100 hours. The bore was still standard including the choke. Lycoming says the through hardended steel cylinders are the softest on the market. Mine showed no wear after 10-years and 2,100 hours.

I am presenlty running the NEW ECI Steel cylinders with less than 50 hours since installing them. Broke in a few hours. Used about 1/4 quart of oil in 10-hours. Now down about 1/3 quart after 13 hours.

...that's a really good data point for those of us in dry AZ...

And the 15+% savings is quite significant.
