Continental Aircraft Piston Engine Core for Sale

Continental aircraft piston engine core offered for parts, rebuilding, inspection, or other appropriate engine-core applications.

The crankshaft flange was inspected by the seller and determined to be bent outside specifications. The engine is therefore being sold strictly as an AS-IS ENGINE CORE.

Engine Identification

The seller reports that the engine was acquired as part of an inventory purchase without associated records or engine history.

Because the data tag isn't readable and no logbooks accompany the engine, the exact Continental model hasn't been established.

Visible case casting numbers reported by the seller include:

1. 6652
2. 92646
3. 6631
4. 92146

Prospective buyers should independently inspect and identify the engine before purchase and determine whether the engine, case, accessories, and other components are suitable for their intended application.

Crankshaft Condition

This engine has a known bad crank.

The seller dialed the crankshaft flange and determined that it was bent outside acceptable specifications. For that reason, the engine is being offered as a core rather than as a serviceable or airworthy engine.

No representation of airworthiness or return-to-service eligibility is made.

Included Accessories

Included equipment consists of:

1. Baffling, as photographed
2. Engine-mounted fuel system
3. Slick magnetos
4. Vacuum pump
5. Left-hand Slick Model 4230 magneto
6. Right-hand Slick Model 4230 magneto, S/N 91030058
7. Oil Kidney A-5460

Only specifically identified accessories should be considered included in the sale.

Not Included

The following items are not included:

1. Propeller
2. Air box
3. Engine mount
4. Exhaust system

Accessories not specifically listed as included can be removed and sold separately.

Condition and Documentation

This is a salvage-origin engine offered in as-is core condition.

There are no complete logbooks, no readable engine data tag, no known total engine time, and no documented overhaul history. The crankshaft is known to be outside specifications.

A prospective buyer should have the engine inspected by a qualified A&P mechanic, engine shop, or other appropriately qualified aviation professional before purchase.

Sale Terms

1. Price: $4,000
2. Condition: As-is engine core
3. Warranty: None expressed or implied

Best-Fit Buyer Applications

This engine is best positioned for buyers looking for a Continental engine core, rebuild candidate, parts source, accessory package, or engine-shop inventory.

Because the exact model hasn't been verified and the crankshaft is known to be outside specifications, suitability and component eligibility must be established by the buyer or installing agency.
