How many times can you rebuild a Lycoming and have a reasonably good chance of reusing expensive stuff like the crank and the case?
Thank you,
Thank you,
gmcjetpilot said:I asked Lyc that. There are no time limited parts. You will wear it out before you fatigue it out. Of course Lyc recommends not using old cylinders. So I suppose that's an indirect comment about a time limited part, the cylinders, but you can reuse them if you want. Rhonda Barrett-Bewley can tell you how many overhauls you can get. I think its so dependant on operations. Since many engines fly so little they time out before hour out.
