Best Lycoming shops in UK
Hi,
Our C177 is in for its annual and a significant amount of copper colored metallic was found in the oil-filter. On pulling all 4 cylinders they discovered significant wear on the piston-rod end-caps in 3 & 4 (not 1 & 2) and more worryingly signs of severe overheating on the con-rod ends of 3 & 4
They have the Rollason engineer take a look and he is offering a strip to assess for £700
Can you advise
1) Good and bad engine shops in UK ( I know of Rollason and Isenberg)
2) COuld Airspeed Aviation at Derby carry out such work (replacing the con-rods?)
ANy advice much appreciated
Rgds
