What You Need To Know When Buying Continental Aircraft Engine Parts

By Frank Campbell


There are parts of a machine that can get spoilt and everything comes to a halt. In airplanes, one of these components is the engine. The cost of getting a new one is sometimes too high for most people, and they opt to get one salvaged from a damaged airplane. However, you can compromise by getting one of the remanufactured Continental aircraft engine parts. When you think of going out and buy one, you need to keep the keep the following things in mind.

Damaged machines are only thrown away after all their working items have been salvaged. When remanufacturing engines, the old systems are taken and then dismantled. They are cleaned, and this reveals the parts that may be damaged and in need of replacement. The replacement is typically done with new or old working parts, and then the system is tested for efficiency before it can be sold.

Logically, before you start looking for a part like this, you need to see if they are available for the make of your plane. Big companies will offer you the most variety, and this is where you should first check. With vintage or one of a kind aircraft models, you might have a hard time locating these services, but do not give up before you have exhausted all the garages and repairs shops.

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.

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.

When purchasing things you are always advised to go with locally based manufacturers. However, this is not possible in all situations. What you could do is try to locate the closest representative of that manufacturer. If they are nearby, the machines can be delivered to them, and you can then collect it. Alternatively, you could arrange with the vendor, for the engine to come directly to you.

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.

Buying the right part is only one part of the process. It will have to be installed into the aircraft before you can use it, and this should be done by a professional. A mechanic at the garage you regularly use can do this for you. Alternatively, the manufacturer can direct you to someone they trust and regularly use for installations.
