Aircraft Engine Overhaul [How It's Done]

I visited Poplar Grove Airmotive to see what is in store for my engine. They’re a well-known piston engine overhaul shop. This video is about the process from the time the engine is dropped off until it's ready to be returned to the owner. In my last video I explained the three types of engine overhauls and why I chose a Poplar Grove to do my Lycoming O-320 engine overhaul.
Thanks to Steve for being a gracious host and to all the friendly people at Poplar Grove Airmotive for indulging me in the tour that enabled me to make this video. If you're not familiar with them visit their website and be sure to read the about pages, which is fascinating tale of how they built a dairy farm into the thriving general aviation community that it is today. Poplar Grove airport is C77, not far from Oshkosh.

As your sister, it's nice to see his passion in making sure your engine and everyone else's is working at 100%

Poplar Grove overhauled my Super Cruiser’s O-320 a few years ago. Still looks like it was just installed. You’ll be happy with their work!

Owesome, I was always wondering why a O.H. cost the same as a new engine. that answer my question.

Is it ok use a pressure washer to wash a steel engine? What method do you recommend for engine cleaning?

[@seanmarshall7608]

Can’t find part 2. Has it been posted?

Good people to do business with

I love aviation. I love anything mechanical. I’ve always worked on my cars. I took an A&P vocational class in HS in the late 70’s but the math kicked my ass so I didn’t complete the course. Finally got my PPL in 2022 before it turned 60. But I’d love to work in an aviation shop like this 🥰

How do you turn a 5,000 rebuild into 35, 000? Tell someone it is for an airplane. Never seen so much nonsense over a glorified volkswagen engine.
