lycoming major overhaul

Anyone here have cost information to do a major overhaul on a 110 hp engine
(C150). I'm in south Florida and am considering buying a plane with high
time engine.

Thanks
Marty

We just purchased in November an O-235C1 for our PA-12. For a zero time
engine from Lycoming the cost was $16,400 plus about 2000 for
installation and $700 for an STCed Alternator conversion.

Cessna 150's came from the factory with 100 HP Continental O-200's.
Majoring the engine costs 5 to 10 thousand, sometimes more.

There is a huge difference in overhaul costs between the Continental O-200
in the 150 and the Lycoming O-235 in the 152. The cost to overhaul the
Lycoming will be much higher.

By how much more is the Lycoming to overhaul and why? I have an old hand A&P
friend who says the Lycoming is easier to work on than the Continental.
Also, didn't Cessna start using the Lycoming in their later model 150's ?

Please reply

No. All 150s came with the Continental O-200. Cessna went to Lycoming engines for the
152.

All Cessna 150s came equipped with the Continental O-200 (100 hp).
The follow-on model Cessna 152 used the Lycoming O-235. If you're
really looking at a Cessna 150 forget about Lycoming overhaul costs.
It doesn't apply.

You are so right. I like those little Lycomings with their 2k hour tbo's
and solid lifters. They last forever but are expensive to overhaul.

If OH'd with the proper parts, the Lyc O235 is good for 2400 hours TBO.

Just had one at the airport roll over dead after 800 hours. It was flown
regularly.
