It depends. Depending on the problem, and age of the cylinder, I'd

still buy new.

When you look at a new Millennium cylinder, and see where they have beefed
up the areas most likely to crack, it's an easy choice.

The reason I was asking is that the plane I'm buying needed a cylinder
rebuilt, and the owner elected to have it rebuilt rather than buy a new one.
I'm sure it will be OK...but for how long?
All I can say is that the owner has been extremely agreeable.
We had that agreement that he may or may not fix anything above $500.
So far, the annual has been about $4K, and he has been more than happy to
fix everything (including the cylinder rebuild).
