I got my C-90 back from a major a few weeks ago. I had originally
considered
doing the work myself, under the supervision of a certified guy. Since
he's
~70 miles away, and I really wouldn't save a heap o' cash, I just dropped
it
off at the shop.

Between the two guys working on it, they had a total of just over 30
hours
labor in it. I wouldn't have though it to be that high. Had I been there,
I
could have done some of the grunt work - cleaning parts, etc. Maybe could
have saved a few hundred greenbacks.

I have about $8500-8800 in it, thus far. The crankcase and acc'y case were
both replaced; the acc'y case was new from Continental.

Anyone out there have a prop for a C-90? I need either a Sens. 76AK-2-xx
(prefer a 44 pitch) or a W72GK-4x (46, maybe?). The engine's hanging on a
Champion 7FC/EC.

I bet if the shop broke down the time they spent, about 1/3 of it would be
in re-assembling the engine, another third in buying parts and dealing with
part certification shops, and another 1/3 was tearing it down and cleaning
it...
