Looking at something like a 182, What does it cost to have the A+P Remove and replace the engine/prop? It's easy to find overhaul costs in Trade a plane etc...., but how much more does the shop labor add? (Assuming that not much else is wrong with the aircraft?)

Well, if you are going to fly the plane to the overhaul shop, there isn't much additional. If you are going to pull the engine and ship it out, you are going to have to pay to have it crated and then there are the shipping charges. It cost me a few hundred dollars to have my engine pulled and shipped out. I don't have the reinstall charges because I totally replaced the engine (mount, cowling, firewall, etc...).

My AI and put it back in too. Putting it back in took a lot longer, but that included new motor mounts, overhauled exhaust system, new hoses,overhauled alternator, overhauled engine mount, new control cables, new wiring, new prop and governor, new baffels, new scat tubing, engine analyzer probes, etc, etc, etc... As long as its apart, you might as well do it all Total cost of Millenium OH, new Prop, and misc in 2000 was ~$25K, not including labor.

Ben Haas I just went through a major overhaul and while the engine was pulled, had my annual done on my Sundowner. It was 2000 dollars for labor for both engine and annual to be completed. (50.00 an hour). The engine was $13,500 (Lycoming AK4 180 hp). Allen Back to top Ben Haas Guest Posted: Thu Nov 20, 2003 4:02 am    Post subject: Re: Engine Replacement Labor costs....

You do realize that replacing the flexible fuel and oil lines wouldn't be covered by either the R&R or an overhaul, right? And what about inspection/repair of the exhaust system? Do you think that's part of the R&R or overhaul? If I read my service manual correctly, these are things to be done in conjunction with the engine overhaul (or at the very least, are recommended actions). Perhaps the OP's aircraft doesn't have the same required actions. -- Bob Noel Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         AirTalk.org Forum Index -> Owning Airplanes All times are GMT Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum Aviation----------------alt.aviationAviation safety EnhancementPlanes, gliders and flying in AustraliaAviation et pilotage (Français)rec.aviationAviation (Aerobatics)Hot air, gas balloons and airshipsHang-gliding, paragliding, foot-launched flightAircraft Design & BuildingInstrument Flight RulesAviation (Classifieds)Military AircraftNaval AviationAviation (Miscellaneous Topics)Owning AirplanesAviators (General Discussions)Aviation related productsAircraft RestorationHelicopters and rotary wing aircraftsFlight SimulationSailplanesAviation (Students)Light aircraftFlying related activities in the UK Airports----------------alt.airportsEdinburgh Airport Glasgow Airport Humberside Airport Luton Airport Aberdeen Airport Glasgow Prestwick Airport  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2006 phpBB Group SEO toolkit © 2004-2006 webmedic.
