Lycoming & TCM Continental
engine shop

Our advanced engine shop with experienced EASA Part 145-authorised engineers are the hub of our service-overhauling and repairing light aircraft engines such as Lycoming, TCM Teledyne Continental, Franklin and others for UK and international customers. The engine shop is fully equipped with sophisticated inspection tools and systems, including spraywash and ultrasonic cleaning tanks, and test bed facilities.

Engine test bed

After an engine has received a complete overhaul, we make our pass-off tests with the engine mounted on our advanced Froude GB4 water dynamometer, which enables the engine output to be determined in terms of brake power. This is an important part of our process of checking and recording all parameters in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications. See the CAA website for a full description of test requirements.

Norvic’s quality of workmanship is superb, and we share the same ethos, which is ‘clear, open and honest communication’. Ian Chaplin, General Aero Services, Thurrock Airfield, Grays, Essex

In-house capability

With our broad set of skills under one roof, we can cut the time it takes to rebuild and repair your engine for optimal performance and reliability. It also gives us the flexibility to meet your particular requirements.

As part of your engine overhaul or repair, we can overhaul injectors, carburettors, magnetos, CSUs, and cylinders (including non-destructive testing-NDT), each in its own facility within the engine shop. We also have the capability to repair and overhaul crankcases and crankshafts, and have CAA approval for TIG welding of aluminium-including crankcases and cylinder heads-all to Norvic's high standards.

Total quality control

Each incoming engine is allocated an individual cart to eliminate the risk of parts cross-contamination and ensure a smooth transit through our rigorously monitored programme of works. Our engineers conduct a full inventory and engine strip to identify parts needing repair, replacement or overhaul, then carry out exhaustive tests and upgrades to the highest professional standards. Replacement parts are then installed and the engine sent for testing on our own test-bed facility. The final step is a series of in-depth checks to ensure the engine is flawless and ready for delivery. See our quality control procedures in detail.
