- I visited Poplar Grove Airmotive to see what is in store for my engine. They’re a well-known piston engine overhaul shop. This video is about the process from the time the engine is dropped off until it's ready to be returned to the owner. In my last video I explained the three types of engine overhauls and why I chose a Poplar Grove to do my Lycoming O-320 engine overhaul.
Thanks to Steve for being a gracious host and to all the friendly people at Poplar Grove Airmotive for indulging me in the tour that enabled me to make this video. If you're not familiar with them visit their website and be sure to read the about pages, which is fascinating tale of how they built a dairy farm into the thriving general aviation community that it is today. Poplar Grove airport is C77, not far from Oshkosh.

As your sister, it's nice to see his passion in making sure your engine and everyone else's is working at 100%
Poplar Grove overhauled my Super Cruiser’s O-320 a few years ago. Still looks like it was just installed. You’ll be happy with their work!
Looking forward to part 2!
Owesome, I was always wondering why a O.H. cost the same as a new engine. that answer my question.
fantastic video! I hope all the people working on these engines earn good.
Great information, thanks. Super cool that they gave you access.
I really enjoyed it. Learned a lot about engines!
I'm excited! Can't wait for part two
I love aviation. I love anything mechanical. I’ve always worked on my cars. I took an A&P vocational class in HS in the late 70’s but the math kicked my ass so I didn’t complete the course. Finally got my PPL in 2022 before it turned 60. But I’d love to work in an aviation shop like this 🥰
You probably can. I met an American Airlines captain who works there just because he loves it. He doesn't get paid but he gets to work on the engines. Of course he has his own small plane. He's based in Chicago so it's fairly easy for him to get there when he hast to fly. Point being, if you don't need to do it for money it's fairly easy to get some hands-on and a shop pretty much anywhere
And congrats on getting your PPL!
I taught an A&P prep class for my military buddies getting out. The math isn't as much as you might think. There are algebra problems (only to get you to think). My first student was almost at the 6th grade math level. I fed him grains of sand until he understood and he passed and got his A&P. I love mechanical too and work on cars, airplanes, houses. What state are you in? We need good mechanics.
Good people to do business with
Hey thanks for putting this out there. What a great service
Awesome video, amazing how quickly they can do that.

What a dream job!
Fantastic video!
Thank you! Really enjoyed the visit and learned a lot.
Great video thankyou
Glad you enjoyed it
Can’t find part 2. Has it been posted?
Is it ok use a pressure washer to wash a steel engine? What method do you recommend for engine cleaning?
Excuse sir do you mind if you may do short video about tappet clerance valve for engine type O-235-N2C thanks
1:34 looks like you have a bit of a backlog.
How do you turn a 5,000 rebuild into 35, 000? Tell someone it is for an airplane. Never seen so much nonsense over a glorified volkswagen engine.
Agreed. Liability forces those prices to go up in such manner.
