Expands Line Of FAA Certified PMA Parts

RAM Aircraft, L.P. is well known in the Twin Cessna, Beechcraft & Cirrus communities for their premium overhauled engines, performance upgrades, parts manufacturing, and sales. RAM's engineering focus recently has been developing and improving Continental engine replacement parts.

Many OEM parts are sole source and have become very expensive. Until now, General Aviation has only had two options: reusing old engine parts or hyper-expensive OEM parts. RAM has developed a better third option by expanding their line of FAA certified PMA Parts. FAA certification guarantees the quality and functionality of certified replacement parts. RAM achieves a lower price by state-of-the-art manufacturing and lower overhead costs.

RAM Aircraft, L.P. has recently completed four new PMA (Parts Manufacturing Approval) Projects covering 158 more parts for Continental engines.

Parts included on these four PMAs are:

• New Crankcase for all models of IO-520/IO-550 & TSIO-520/TSIO-550 (front alternator type)
• New Crankcase studs and associated hardware
• New Direct-drive gears
  • Internal gears for IO-520/IO-550 & TSIO-520/TSIO-550
• New Oil Pump Components
  • Direct drive oil pump kit (housing & gears)
  • Direct drive oil pressure relief valve kit
• Tach drive housing and gears
• New Thru-bolts
  • Available as individual thru-bolts or complete overhaul sets for 200/470/520/550 engines
• New Pushrods & pushrod housings for 470/520/550 engines
