Tips For Buying Continental Aircraft Engine Parts

By Frank Campbell


An airplane will only be as good as its parts. The moment it starts to sputter, you as the owner know that there is a problem. In some cases, the damage might be repairable, while in others, you may simply need to get a replacement. Most people will only look at old or new alternatives. However, you also have the option of getting remanufactured Continental aircraft engine parts. Here, is what you should know before you make your decision.

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.

This is one of those purchases that you should only make from reputable sellers. These should be people who have a reputation to protect, and therefore, you can be assured that they will offer you the best merchandise available. You can do some research online, and see what has been written in client reviews. If you want confirmation from a reliable source, talk to your mechanic, and ask for their opinions of the different sellers.

A good engine will never come cheap, but there is also a price past which it should not exceed. You can determine this price by comparing the rates different vendors are offering. You also need to keep in mind that the purchase price will not be comprehensive of the transportation costs and installation. Avoid buying from the person with the lowest rates, because this may also reflect the quality of the products.

If you are lucky, you might find that your chosen vendor had an office or a sales representative located near you. However, the distance should not be an issue. Most sellers will have no problem delivering your purchase to you or a previously specified mechanic. You will also find that in most cases they handle the freight charges.

A similarity these engines have with new ones is that they come with a warranty. This is usually about three or four years, and it covers the parts as well as the labor. Ensure you learn the details of this agreement and read the details before you sign it.

Once this part has been delivered to you, ensure that you have the right person to handle its installation. This can be the person who regularly services your helicopter or an expert recommended by the manufacturer. Keep in mind that the installations charges will be separate from the purchase.
