From Van's Engine Order page:
"We’ve been made aware that Lycoming will be increasing engine prices effective March 14th at 11:59 p.m. Pacific time. These increases will be in the 10-15% range across their product line. If you order an engine between now and March 15th you will have to take delivery in 2022, or as soon as Lycoming has your engine built in their queue if they are unable to deliver before the end of 2022. You will not be able to request a delivery date after December 31, 2022 for engines ordered now, prior to the price increase."
From Lycoming Warranty " 2. What is the Warranty Period?
This Limited Warranty shall commence on either the date first placed into service by the original retail
purchaser or twenty-four (24) months after the engine is first shipped from Lycoming, whichever occurs
first, and shall extend for a period of twenty-four (24) months or 2200 hours, whichever occurs first."
In my case, the engine will be setting for an extended amount of time (My guess is 2 or 3 years or more?). (I have not even received my first kit even yet)..... Since most of the warranty would be "used up" by the time I get it into service I am not going to order.
