Incredible channel, straight to the point! Massive thanks!
Thanks so much. We're trying hard!
I appreciate the tour. A really watchable video, thanks.
Thanks so much! We are trying to improve on each video. On this one our new lapel mikes didn't quite work. Someday we'll get a gimbal mount ($$$). Baby steps! Thanks for watching!
Amazing facility!
Great company, great product, great people. Thanks for watching!
A very interesting tour, thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it. Not many like them in the world that specialize in such things. Thanks for watching!
Always wondered where the sausage got made…now I know! Very good video, nicely done.
Thanks much. Hopefully we will do more of these type of videos in 2022!
Bill, thanks for your videos.
Have you done a video of DIVCO-
Aircraft Specialities do a lot of metal removal and very little to any metal added, so the customer ends up with undersized parts-!
Not yet! Hopefully next trip to Tulsa we'll try to do that!
I think it would be good to invest in a microphone but other then that great video
I actually had my new Rode mikes, but, alas I had the wrong cables and they didn't record. Epic fail!

Thank you for the tour of the FAA-approved speciality repair shop. The inventory of customer parts, accounts, cleaning and inspection, must be demanding.
Q1. What defect is most common with the crankshaft: that requires machining?
Q3. The tolerance bend? Would that cause destructive vibration on the seat C bearings?
So, is it cheaper and smarter to request the parts by: make, model and number, than send the old parts for matching?
Q4. What does the ammonia chemical do in the process?
And of course, order over the Internet, telephone with payment to Superior parts.
Thanks for sharing your experience.

Hi John. Yes it keeps us very busy. And getting busier! That's a good thing! ;)
Q1) Most of our work is done NOT because of defects. Most of our work is done because an engine is required to be taken apart when it has reached it's service life limit or TBO limit (Time Between Overhaul). And our repair station is approved to take crankshafts and camshafts beyond factory limits. However, we do get crankshafts sent to us because an engine is required to be pulled apart for a "prop strike" inspection. That is to say a propellers hit the ground or some other object which may have adversely affected the engine. In which case the flange of the crankshaft is possibly ruined. There may also be instances where an engine was oil starved, for whatever reason, and we will see galling on the rod journals and main bearing journals. That can take a bit of work.
Q3) I'm not quite sure what you are asking as "Seat C bearing" is a new term for us. I think there might be a difference in use of terms. But I will make an attempt to answer: With regards to crankshafts, we measure the "runout". That is to say, we spin the crankshafts by hand and measure how much movement there is on the front main bearing journals, center main bearing journals and end bearing journals. As long as everything is in tolerance there should be no problems. But yes, it is possible for there to be too much "run out" or "bend"(?) that could force oil from making that protective boundary layer and keep it from doing it's job. But that is not something we see. The crankshafts we work on will never leave our shop with too much runout.
As for the second part of the question, you can send us your steel parts and ONLY steel parts, for the engine, and we can inspect them and tell you if they are worth repairing/overhauling. With the exception of tappets, lifters, tach shafts and hydraulic units, you will get your original parts back. Also give us part numbers for anything you have or want and things will go soooo much smoother. There is a lot of variation of engines out there.
Q4) Our Nitriding process requires the molecular breakdown of ammonia (NH3) to get the Nitrogen (N) separated from the Hydrogen (H3) to use for the hardening process. The Nitrogen is then effectively bonded into the metal which helps with the hardening process. Hence NITRiding.
I hope that answers some of your questions. Feel free to ask more questions.
