I thought Lycoming was charging back for bad cranks and cams?
Any overhauler is going to deny the core charge if the parts are
unrepairable.
I think I understand that "core charge" is money paid for the value of the
engine after it is removed. I think what you're discussing above is
Lycoming failing to pay this value for engines they receive [in certain
cases]. Yes?
How does this "core charge" impact my overhaul? If I choose to overhaul my
engine, does it play a role? If I choose to buy an engine off the shelf,
then I suppose this "core charge" is what I get for returning my existing
engine?
[...]
I don't know whether field-overhaul shops are still accepting welded
cases, or if they've followed Lycoming's lead.
Ah, so one question to ask is "if I buy an engine from you, what will you
give me for my engine"?
.... and under what conditions might you not give me what you initially
agreed.
