What You Need To Know When Buying Continental Aircraft Engine Parts

By Frank Campbell


Machines can operate well for a very long time if they are regularly serviced and maintained. However, after a while, they eventually break down. You may choose to replace the damaged parts or buy a new one altogether. When this involves airplane engines, this will prove to be an expensive venture. If you want to keep the plane but replace its heart, then you should consider looking at remanufactured Continental aircraft engine parts.

A plane may be written off, but some of its parts can be salvaged and reused. In some cases, this is after the parts are serviced, while in others they come the same way they were plucked. With remanufactured engines, it will be taken apart, cleaned, and then reassembled using serviced or new parts. After this process, it will be tested to see whether that it is in line with the set standards.

A visit to your mechanism will tell you if you will find a particular item for your plane. If you have a common model, then this might not be a problem, but you still need to confirm before you make any assumptions. You might find that even though a system may not be available, the manufacturer could custom make something for you. However, this might be risky.

Although there may be numerous people making and selling these items, it is best to buy from a well-known vendor. This should be someone who has been in this business for long, uses qualified technicians and is known for selling good quality engines. Otherwise, you might end up paying a lot of money for something mediocre.

Ideally, this engine will be cheaper than a new one, but more expensive than a used one. The price will vary depending on the modifications made, and the model of the system. You should first window shop and see the various rates for this item. When making your budget, ensure that you also include freight charges and the cost of installation. After this, you can choose the vendors whose rates are the most affordable for you.

Even while looking for the best machine, you need to consider the logistics of transportation. This will not be a problem unless the manufacturer is located in a distant town or state. If this is the case, you can inquire to see whether they have nearby agents who will make work easier for you. If the engine needs to be delivered to you, ensure you know in advance who will pay for this service.

When you make the purchase, you have to ensure that the supplier gives you a warranty. This document should detail, whether you are covered for the spare components, the labor or both. For these items, the minimum guarantee limit you find will be about three years.

Unless you know a lot about airplanes, do not try to handle the installation yourself. Tinkering with the wrong things might damage the system, and this will be another problem in itself. You should let your regular mechanic or the manufacturer handle this. They should also test that it is compatible with the machine before you leave the shop.
