How Do You Know It Is Time for an Overhaul?

Top Overhauls:

A top overhaul consists of repairing parts outside of the crankcase and can be completed without disassembling the engine. This may include removing, inspecting and repairing cylinders and inspecting and repairing cylinder walls, pistons, piston rings, heads, valves, valve guides and valve seats.

Aircraft cylinder condition, flight calendar, actual flight hours and more should all be considered when determining if a top overhaul is needed. As top overhauls can be complicated and many ordinary maintenance facilities lack the proper equipment and expertise required to perform reconditioning, you may be faced with replacement; but why would you want to pay for all new parts if your engine and cylinders have logged relatively low hours and a custom aircraft overhaul shop like Moore Performance Products can get your aircraft’s existing cylinders working like new? You wouldn’t. 

Also, keep in mind that with a professional aircraft cylinder overhaul provided by Moore Performance Products, there is no risk of improper tightness tolerances or sloppy valve job geometry that mass produced cylinders – as opposed to individually overhauled cylinders – can provide. Among a host of other items, the highly trained Moore Performance Products service technicians address surface corrosion due to a number of elements, including extended periods of inactivity and storage and operation within environments with high humidity, which can all lead to unwelcome occurrences such as excessive oil consumption, blow-by, an overabundance of metal readings and even loss of engine power. With the most advanced technology, meticulous attention and value-added options, Moore Performance Products can provide you with a vastly upgraded overhauled cylinder that is actually better than a new, stock purchase.

Bottom Overhauls: 

Is your aircraft engine’s bottom end ready for complete overhaul? The bottom end includes the crankcase, crankshaft, connecting rods, camshaft, lifters and accessory gears and housing. If your compression is low in a cylinder, your problems may be put to rest if that cylinder is removed and reworked. However, cylinder maintenance should not be taken for granted and if your issues are severe enough, it is possible that nothing short of a complete cylinder overhaul will do. The aircraft cylinder overhaul experts at Moore Performance Products will utilize the latest technology and tools to identify the signs that will determine the course of action that is most advantageous for you.

Oil Pressure – We will examine your idling oil pressure. Low oil pressure may indicate a gap between the crankshaft and main bearings; and as that gap increases, so will leakage, reducing your idling oil pressure. 

Oil Consumption – How much oil consumption is too much? That’s another indicator that we can help you correctly identify. Fortunately, there is a formula to help determine maximum allowable oil consumption. At Moore Performance Products, we can apply that and also uncover any problem areas, such as oil leaks due to case cracks or seal fails.

Oil Condition – Oil color is an excellent determinant as well, as oil turning black shortly after an oil change is often a sign of byproducts blowing past your piston and rings.

Wear and Damage Inspections – Compression tests and valve inspections are also conducted to check for excessive wear and cylinder wall scarring; and since compression test readings can vary from flight to flight, state-of-the-art calibration procedures are performed to collect valid readings.
