My A&P was able to order mine directly from the factory. I had to wait
fo the skys to open after 9/11 so I could test fly and break in.

I got a Lycoming factory overhauled O-360-A1A and had it delievered to

Skyhawk.. I sent the other one back for the "core" charge. I had to
leave a large deposit with Lycoming, that they quickly refunded when the
old engine arrived. Learing experience for me. 300 hours later, running
fine.


We had a similar experience getting a factory overhauled Lycoming
engine through Air Power two years ago. For the core charge, we sent
them a certified check which they held uncashed and sent back to us
when they received the old engine back. The engine has been running
great for the last 350 hrs.
