"PowerByVictor" Engines add higher value and hold higher value over time. See Aircraft Resale Value Comparison. How It’s Done Victor Aviation specializes in overhauling customer’s engines and keeping the original engine serial number intact. There is a distinct advantage in keeping your engine’s serial number as this allows you to know the engine’s actual hour history and fatigue cycles on the major engine parts. Interestingly, should you purchase a factory rebuilt “zerotime” engine, the engine may have high time major engine parts including the crankcase, crankshaft, gears, connecting rods and housings. These parts may have more engine hours and fatigue cycles on them than are on your own engine. When the factory takes in an engine core for exchange, the engine is disassembled, the logs are discarded and reusable engine parts go back into their rebuilt “zerotime” engine parts inventory. Engine parts are no longer kept with the original engine serial number where they came from and the parts hour history and fatigue cycles are forever lost. You are now buying an exchange engine with an unknown parts hour history. Exchange “PowerbyVictor” engines are available at Victor Aviation for most popular six cylinder engine models and come with engine hour parts histories. Unlike the engine manufacturers, when Victor Aviation takes in an exchange engine core, the engine components are serial number recorded and kept intact with the engines serial number. Engines are built onebyone by the nation’s most experienced master engine machinists that have passed Victor Aviation’s rigid training and experience requirements. With over thirty six years of experience, Victor Aviation has set the standards that other manufacturers and field over haulers attempt to follow. "PowerByVictor" The Overhaul Procedure Step 1 Initiating an Engine Overhaul To initiate an engine overhaul all it takes is a phone call.
