Shipping, when arranged by Western Skyways, will be insured for replacement cost and billed at actual shipping costs (not inflated).
TO FACTORY OR NOT TO FACTORY…THAT IS THE QUESTION.
If you’re comparing to factory, consider this… you can get a 3 year, 100% warranty with a Western Skyways Gold Seal engine, but the factory only offers a 1 year warranty. You decide.

YOU CAN HAVE IT NOW.

A large selection of Gold Seal Continental and Lycoming engines are available for quick installation; or you may have your present engine remanufactured to the same Gold Seal standards.

Before shipping, each Gold Seal engine is performance-tested in digital monitoring test cell to insure performance and reliability. For the fastest possible exchange, fly into Western Skyways or your favorite FBO and have your new Gold Seal engine installed.
