Attn: Genghis...Question about engines and overhauls...
Hi Genghis,
I have a quick question about engines and overhauls. In an aircraft systems class we are discussing recip. engines. The question was brought up on how many times an aircraft engine can be overhauled. My professor didn't have a definitive answer because he does not have an A and P. I know that in general Continential and Lycoming are the two basic engines and may be diffrent. I guess what I am looking for is on average how many times the average engine is overhauled. I understand that the inside of the cylinder is ground out, thus resulting in a layer of metal to be removed. I posted over on the tech forum, and I was told that you are the man to ask.
Thanks for your help!!!
