The new GOLD SEAL® Pre-Owned Engine
is remanufactured to factory new limits using only new ECI
Titan cylinders and carries an unprecedented 3-year Security Assurance
Plan, making it a serious contender to factory new and standard
overhaul options.
THE LEGENDARY GOLD SEAL ENGINE ® — TWO DECADES OF
EXCELLENCE
Originally produced by AAR Western Skyways in Troutdale, Oregon
over two decades ago, the Gold Seal Engine® has an unmatched
reputation for smooth performance and astounding endurance. |
| Pilot Tested |
| The precision built
Gold Seal Continental and Lycoming engines have built an international
reputation for quality and reliability.
Gold Seal engines are remanufactured in the modern Western
Skyways facility at Montrose, Colorado, where the most advanced
equipment is put in the hands of a team of FAA-licensed mechanics,
resulting in the highest quality product at a price that is
affordable. |
| Precision Built |
There is
no compromising when building a Gold Seal Engine. Western Skyways
offers a wide range of cylinder options, from factory new steel,
to your choice of cylinder coatings.
All reciprocating assemblies, counterweights, crankshafts, pistons,
wrist pins and connecting rods are matched in sets, then balanced
utilizing state-of-the-art static and dynamic processes.
And to top it off, all external hardware is cadmium-plated to
prevent corrosion.
|
| Quality Controlled |
During each step
of the building process, only top quality materials are used.
Rigid inspections are performed throughout the rebuilding procedure
to insure that A.D. Notes, Bulletins And Service Instructions
are in compliance.
Each engine is rebuilt to factory new tolerances; all parts
not meeting factory new tolerances are automatically replaced.
The clean, spacious engine lab can process over 30 engines at
a time. Western Skyways is the quality volume engine remanufacturer.

| 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.
Call Trent Tubbs or Eric Barker at 1.800.575.9929 for your “No-Surprises”Quote
and put
your workhorse in hands that work as hard as you do.
