Engine Replacement
Following the discovery of excessive metallic particles in the oil filter of our aircraft and the subsequent engine strip-down it looks as though it is going to be more economical for us to have the engine replaced with a zero timed (overhauled) unit rather than having the existing one repaired.
One option which has been suggested to us is a Millennium engine - these are overhauled by a company who were apparently formed from a spin-off of Lycoming. Their guarantee covers 5yrs or TBO (whichever is first), parts & labour. This is superior to Lycoming's own guarantee.
My question is: Does anyone have any experience or knowledge of these engines and/or the company who produces them?
Help Appreciated
