It seems that my TIO-540 engine needs to have a tear down and inspection because of low oil-ish pressure.
I am considering using Aircraft Engine Specialists in Chandler for the service simply because I live in AZ about a two hour drive from their shop.
Does anyone have any feedback from this company?
Additionally I will need to transport the engine to/from the shop and the usual way of transporting a flat engine is to lower it on an old tire in the back of my trailer and strap it down however I would like to transport it with the exhaust system installed because I would have them mount it on an engine test stand and do some runups before the teardown so hopefully they can find something simple that I missed.
Even if they need to tear it down I would like to have them do a full runup on it with the exhaust system and turbo installed so the trip back I would like to keep the exhaust system installed.
So?If I am going to transport it with the exhaust system installed I would need some kind of engine stand that will support the engine on the trailer.
Does anyone in Arizona (or nearby) happen to know of such a stand with the Lycoming Dynofocal engine mounts that I likewise can beg/borrow/steal???
THANKS!!!
