The people who handle warranty and also parts orders were all out of the office in both places.

I hope that this will eventually get figured out. In the mean time my airplane is down because of it.

Just a thought......Have you talked to the guys at either Lockwood Aviation and/or Leading Edge Airfoils to help you with the warranty claim??

25k for an overgrown snowmobile engine and FP prop....Makes an O360 with a FP at about the same cost (with longer TBO times AND proper warranty support) seem like a bargain!

In fairness you may not have contacted the right people yet..Remember this engine has been used by lots of people in the past so I assume they can't be that bad.

certainly if this engine came from a Lyclone supplier you'd have one dropped in the mail the same day...I hope these people come up to speed or maybe there is a better engine choice for future customers..
