Have been scanning the web for O-540 cores.... just to take the temperature of the prices.....
Mostly what I am seeing are prop strike engines being sold by brokers---- for in the 15 K range...... some not even with
all the parts included. Is there ANYBODY out there REALLY paying that ??????
----for an engine that could have a bad case, crank or both ? and some with no logbook ?????
I get the impression that the broker-resellers have / are vacuuming up all the cores up before the rest of us even have a chance.
How do you find a core that has not yet fallen into the clutches of the evil core scalpers ?
Has anyone found a way around this problem ?
T
PS---- as perspective----- it seems O-470 cores are 1/5 the price of O-540 cores.......
what gives there ????????
