Lycoming IO-540 Lead Times

I spoke with Chris at Lycoming today regarding our Thunderbolt order. He told me they will not deliver before March of 2023.

We ordered at the end of February 2022.

FYI,

Would you mind messaging me about how you got in touch with them? I’ve been trying to order and can’t get anywhere. I emailed in two weeks ago and called with no call back.

That goes for parts as well. My order for 6 new cylinders has been in since February. Aircraft Spruce’s delivery estimate slid month by month to August as of the the end of May, now into November. The kicker is that Spruce East hasn’t received a single 540 cylinder since Aug 2021. Not looking too good for my engine build..
