At RAM, we stand behind our products and workmanship, offering you customer service after the sale with the best warranty in the industry. RAM has specialized in the overhaul of Continental Motors, Inc. (CMI) IO-520, IO-550, TSIO-520, GTSIO-520, TSIOL-550A, and GTSIO-520 engines for over 39 years. And with this specialization every aircraft engine overhauled at RAM is covered by the RAM Overhauled Engine TBO Warranty, giving you prorated extended coverage including parts and labor with Individual RAM parts and accessories warranted, as well.

Each aircraft engine overhauled by RAM is covered by this RAM TBO warranty. Repair or replacement of any part under this warranty will not extend the original TBO period as set by Continental Motors, Inc. (CMI). This RAM limited warranty is transferable.

1. INITIAL COVERAGE - ENGINE & PROPELLER & ACCESSORIES: For a period of twelve months or 500-hours of operation, whichever occurs first, after the appropriate Warranty Start Date per section (3) below, RAM will at its option repair or replace, on an exchange basis, any engine or part supplied by RAM (i.e. crankshaft, crankcase, cylinders, pistons, rods, pins, oil pump, internal gears, camshaft, lifters, oil cooler, magnetos, starter, starter adapter, alternator, ignition harnesses, turbocharger, propeller, governor, turbo controller, turbo overboost relief valve, wastegate, fuel system components) which within the applicable twelve months or 500-hour time period is returned to RAM and upon examination is found to the satisfaction of RAM to be defective in material or workmanship.

INITIAL COVERAGE - LABOR: RAM will pay for reasonable labor costs associated with repairs or replacements under this warranty, and for troubleshooting costs associated with identifying the need for such repairs or replacements, when coordinated through a RAM representative. The amount of repair and replacement labor costs allowed will be in accordance with warranty labor allowance schedules published by CMI or the aircraft manufacturer. The amount of troubleshooting costs allowed will be the reasonable costs under the circumstances of identifying the need for such repairs or replacements, but in no event will the troubleshooting costs allowed exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the labor cost associated with such repairs or replacements allowed by RAM. No troubleshooting cost allowance will be made where the need for repairs or replacements is identified in the course of overhaul or routine maintenance.

INITIAL COVERAGE - TRANSPORTATION: RAM will assume responsibility for Initial Coverage warranty transportation costs only when the actual cost of transportation to RAM is expressly authorized by RAM in writing, and when the engine or part is being shipped prepaid to RAM from a point within the United States of America by the most inexpensive means available, and when upon receipt and analysis by RAM the engine or part is found to the satisfaction of RAM to be defective in material or workmanship.

2. EXTENDED PRORATA COVERAGE - ENGINE BLOCK COMPONENTS (EXCEPT CYLINDERS): After the expiration of the applicable twelve months or 500-hour INITIAL COVERAGE period described above and before the expiration of the recommended time before overhaul (TBO) or the number of months equivalent to the TBO divided by 30 hours per month, whichever occurs first, RAM will at its option repair or replace on an exchange basis any engine block component (i.e. crankshaft, crankcase, pistons, rods, pins, oil pump, internal gears, camshaft, lifters) supplied by RAM which is returned to RAM and upon examination found to the satisfaction of RAM to be defective in material or workmanship. When a repair or replacement is made under this warranty, the owner will pay for the consumed portion of the TBO warranty coverage period. Customer portion is derived by dividing the current CMI factory list price by the number of TBO hours CMI designated for the engine, then multiplying that number by the total number of hours on the repaired or replaced engine. In the case of a replaced engine, the damaged parts of the exchanged core engine, i.e., a crankcase or a crankshaft, will be charged for on a prorated basis. The proration will be made based upon CMI's distributor net price or fair market price for a serviceable replacement, whichever is the least costly to the customer. In applying the above formula, the number of hours on the repaired or replaced engine will be actual logbook hours, or calendar time accrued at thirty (30) hours per month from the date of commencement of the warranty period specified above, whichever is greatest.

EXTENDED COVERAGE - CYLINDERS: After the expiration of the applicable twelve months or 500-hour INITIAL COVERAGE period described above RAM will assist Customer in securing the benefeit of any warranties that may be provided by the cylinder’s original equipment manufacturer. RAM WILL NOT AND DOES NOT PROVIDE ANY SEPARATE OR ADDITIONAL WARRANTY AS TO CYLINDERS.

EXTENDED PRORATA COVERAGE - LABOR: Labor and troubleshooting costs associated with prorata warranty will be prorated; the owner will pay for a portion of the labor. The portion paid by the owner will be calculated by dividing the total hours allowed for labor and troubleshooting by the total number of CMI designated TBO hours, then multiplying by the number of hours determined as consumed by the engine being repaired. The amount of repair and replacement labor costs allowed will be in accordance with warranty labor allowance schedules published by CMI or the aircraft manufacturer. In no event will the troubleshooting costs allowed exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the labor cost associated with such repairs or replacements allowed by RAM. No troubleshooting cost allowance will be made where the need for repairs or replacements is identified in the course of overhaul or routine maintenance.

EXTENDED PRORATA COVERAGE - TRANSPORTATION: No transportation costs are authorized to be paid by RAM for engines or parts returned during the engine block component prorata coverage period.

RAM OHE engine(s) that are shipped for the purpose of being installed in the field by an approved aircraft facility, have a warranty start date that begins the date the engine(s) are delivered to the aircraft owner or his representative by the engine installer, but not to exceed 30 days after the initial engine(s) shipment date from RAM, which ever date occurs first.
