Heart of the West Overhaul: Worth It or Nah?

[beefnewton]

Hello. Quick Question,

Anyone got the scoop on Heart of the West? I’m looking to get my Continental O200-A engine overhauled, and their package deal looks pretty solid, definitely nicer on the wallet than some other spots.

Just curious if they’re the real deal when it comes to overhauls. Any thoughts or tips?
Would really appreciate it! TIA.

Honestly, I don’t really know much about Heart of the West. But if we're talking engine shops in the US, I’d totally roll with Western Skyways in Colorado. If my engine needs some TLC, they’re the ones I’d trust - no question!

Do they install only parts that meet factory new spec? A good shop does. Expect to pay more for a proper OH.
