When I placed the order for my engine (IO-390) a month or so ago, I was informed that the standard experimental engines had ~90 day lead time, but the Thunderbolt engines had a significant backlog.
Fast forward to this past Friday and I was informed that my order was among ~30+ engine orders that have yet to be confirmed/acknowledged from Lycoming as they are just returning to the office.
I have no grounding if 30 engines is alot or normal business that they pump out in a few weeks. About how many engines do they produce per month/year? I'm obviously trying to interpolate when I may receive my engine.
