Two years ago I purchased a Lycoming Factory Overhauled O-360-A1A. The
engine is running fine and there was no problems with the core charge. I
believe mine was $4000.00 and it was quickly returned.

There was a thread here recently to the effect that Lycoming no longer refunds
the core charge if the last previous overhaul was not done by Lycoming.
