Vigilant aircraft maintenance is the cornerstone of flight safety. Your aircraft and the lives onboard depend upon it. Proper, timely aircraft maintenance can help prevent inefficient engine performance and engine unreliability, which can lead to excessive damage and downtime (and worse). An effective aircraft preventive maintenance program can identify potential issues, such as broken parts and deteriorating valves or seals early – before they become a problem or even cause a flight to fail. This is especially vital when it comes to aircraft cylinders.
A very important place for us to focus when it comes to regular maintenance and aircraft safety is one of the hottest parts of our engine – its aircraft cylinders. An aircraft cylinder operating at higher than normal temperatures or with leaky exhaust ports can greatly increase the probability of cracks and other damage, very likely leading to some serious engine issues.
Additionally, but of no less importance – aircraft cylinders are constructed from different metals, each which can wear at different rates. The head, which is made of aluminum, is screwed to the steel barrel. When the aluminum head changes temperature, it contracts more quickly than the steel barrel. Over time, that can result in uneven wear patterns, cracks and other damage. However, with proper inspection, maintenance, machining and replacing parts when necessary; you can extend the lifespan of your aircraft cylinders and your overall aircraft performance.
Given the critical nature of aircraft cylinder service and maintenance, finding the right service provider is paramount. Here are some things to look for when selecting a service provider for your aircraft:

A Specialist in Aircraft Cylinders
A very specific skill set is required for proper aircraft cylinder maintenance and overhaul. The Moore Performance Products aircraft service professionals, who specialize in aircraft cylinder overhauls and repairs and provide a variety of overhaul services nationwide and overseas for the aircraft and aerospace industries, are uniquely qualified with aircraft cylinder repair knowledge and experience to take the proper steps for your aircraft cylinder repair.
Manufacturer specifications should be adhered to for aircraft cylinder overhauls for sake of safety as well as optimal engine performance, but aside from that, how do you know it is time for an aircraft cylinder to be overhauled? There are obvious signs that it is time to overhaul an aircraft cylinder, such as excessive oil consumption or a crack in the actual cylinder. However, there are also more subtle signs that necessitate professional testing.
One excellent method of testing the health of an aircraft cylinder is an oil analysis conducted by an experienced, knowledgeable aircraft service provider like those you will find at Moore Performance Products. An oil analysis will provide you with a breakdown of the materials and quantities of each that are found in an oil sample – helping to bring any abnormalities to light, such as pinpointing exactly what is wearing where.
So how far can you let things go before overhauling that cylinder? It depends on the engine type and engine hours. What may be an acceptable compression limit for one engine may not fly with another and a highly qualified aircraft services provider specializing in aircraft cylinders can help you determine exactly what is right for your aircraft.
FAA-Certified
A properly maintained and well-serviced aircraft is a safer one. FAA regulations are put into place to ensure optimal operation and airworthiness of aircraft components, including aircraft cylinders. According to FAA regulations, only an FAA-certified mechanic may overhaul aircraft cylinders and return an aircraft to service once FAA aircraft airworthiness standards are met. Regulation becomes more complicated for a complicated process such as aircraft cylinder maintenance, but for good reason.
The importance of utilizing a highly ranked, experienced and properly qualified FAA-certified repair station with an innate knowledge of everything from the most general, to the most minor details of FAA regulation compliance is crucial and Moore Performance Products is equipped to expertly assist you with all it all.
