How much to replace cracked crankshaft in 1972 skyhawk O-320-E2D engine
Hello - our 1972 skyhawk with original engine (2300 hrs) is in major
overhaul. The crank was sent out and found to have a crack and is supposedly unusable. The mechanic quoted $3,000 for a used replacement and $4,000 for new. Engine is Lycoming O-320-E2D, getting upgraded to 160 HP + powerflow exhuast. Can anyone give me a reference point on how those prices look? Thanks, dave |

That is unless there is a prop strike in its past. Price sounds close but the real question is??? Was that yourcrank they said is bad or another one belonging to another customer? If you are in doubt you can do a little detective work. Politly ask for this cracked one back, closely look at the mating surface betweenthe prop or spinner bulkhead, which ever one comes in contact with the crank flange. You will see a definitive pattern unique to each assembly. Please post as to where this crack is cracked at if you will. Ben Haas N801BH |
