DHamblin Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 2. "RE: Pics of our O200 Engine Major" 02-19-04, 12:55z  LAST EDITED ON 02-19-04 AT 12:55z () I tried to keep a record (in Excel) that I think has everything but some small trips for hardware (nuts, washers etc). It looks like we have about $2,500 in it. Some of the shops we got parts from (incidentally, they were very supportive and two gave us tours of their shops when they heard we were doing most of the work ourselves) told us a overhaul from them would be in the $8,500-$10,000 depending on any extras. We had Phil's cylinder shop in Brookville Ohio do the cylinders and also the inspections on the crank, cases etc. Most of the hardware we needed or wanted to replace we got from Signiture Engines in Cincinnati. I had a lot of experience working on MX and street bikes in the '70's and '80's and our A&P partner has rebuilt several others, so I wasn't too worried. I also bought an overhaul video on the O200 from Mattituck which was really helpful. We also had all the O200 illustrated parts catalog and service/overhaul manual (plus we have the parts catalog and service manula for the C150H, very helpful when you do all your own work). The engine was hung on the plane last weekend. We need to finish hooking the controls and putting the shrouding/cowling back on. Weather permitting it should be next week for first flight.
