Rebuilt engines

I used American Aircraft Engines in Olk. They remanufactured two engines for my 1975 P337G, N34EC. While nothing is inexpensive when it comes to aircraft, the cost was reasonable. They stand behind their work and are easy folks to work with. You can find their website on the web. Check them out. Good luck and hope all works out fine for you.

My issue was that I had non-VAR crankshafts so no shop would rebuild my engines and all of them suggested I buy factory remanufactured right from Continental. I had very few options...

Why couldn’t the shops replace the cranks? Are they something that only TCM can do?

They could but that was going to make the cost to rebuild higher than buying a factory remanufactured straight from Continental WITH a warranty and a higher TBO (1700hrs as opposed to 1500). The next option was factory NEW at $10k more per engine.
