Re: [COUPERS] Engine Overhaul - Where

[LOUIS G. CHAMPEAU]

----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]---- I had my C-85 overhauled by Kline last May.  He quoted me a price of $4500, but when all was said and done, I wrote a check for $6300.  I delivered it, and picked it up, so there were no shipping charges.    I needed a new (rebuilt) mag, the case had to be reworked due to a spun cam shaft bearing, and numerous other "ADD-ONS".   My cylinders were reworked some (weld repairs, chroming, etc.)  but he reused mine.   I think that he did a good job, I have good oil pressure and compressions are up.  I know of two other engines that he worked on that had some questions raised about, and he did whatever was required to answer those questions, even though it was not his responsibility.  That was the biggest reason that I had him do mine, and I'm glad that I did. -----Original Message----- From: g w <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: coupers@topica.com <coupers@topica.com> Date: Thursday, August 24, 2000 2:12 AM Subject: [COUPERS] Engine Overhaul - Where ----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]---- Hi all, I have decided to avert disaster and get my engine overhauled, sometime before the end of the year.  Not flying again until I do.  Where is a good place that is relatively low-priced?  It seems like I often hear about people who just got some IA to do it, and the 2 times mine has been done it was that way.  Is this still done or is it neccesary to send it halfway across the country to a shop?  Two places in TradeAPlane that looked attractive were Kline and St. Louis, does anybody know anything about them?  I am more familiar with places like Mattituck and PennYan but their prices were truly incredible, around $12,000.  At least it has recent cylinders so I won't need those.
