Engine Balance

A smooth-running engine isn’t just about comfort—it’s about performance, longevity, and reliability.

At Penn Yan Aero, we provide precision dynamic engine balancing like no other shop in the industry. Using advanced equipment and decades of experience, we measure engine vibration while running and make fine adjustments to achieve optimal balance across your entire powerplant system.

Why Engine Balance Matters

Even small imbalances can lead to:

  • Increased wear on engine components

  • Fatigue to engine mounts, accessories, and airframes

  • Reduced pilot and passenger comfort

  • Unnecessary stress over the life of the engine

Dynamic balancing minimizes these issues by significantly reducing vibration levels, protecting your investment, and improving overall performance.

The Benefits

  • Smoother operation throughout the RPM range

  • Extended component life for the engine, accessories, and airframe

  • Improved pilot comfort and reduced fatigue

  • Protection of your investment by lowering long-term maintenance costs

Many customers notice the difference immediately on the very first flight.

When to Balance

Engine balancing can be performed:

  • After overhaul

  • Following propeller installation or replacement

  • During routine maintenance

  • Anytime excessive vibration is noted

Balancing at overhaul or propeller installation is especially effective, as it allows the engine and propeller to start their service life in perfect harmony.
