TIC170A Member engine difficulty

Post by GAHorn »

Rec'd from a member:
Hello,
Please forward this email to all the 170 drivers out there. I had a engine
built by Lycon Engine Rebuilders in Visaila, California. I had nothing but
trouble with the engine for over a year. CUSTOMER SERVICE, WHAT CUSTOMER
SERVICE????The engine blew out 4 front nose seals and then in January seized
in the air just outside of CPU, still Lycon continues to ignore the problem.
Now there are pointed the figure elsewhere. If you are considering engine
shops I would not recommend Lycon Engine Rebuilders in Visalia, California.
For further details please call Donna Dal porto
