Man, I really feel for you. What a dismal set of choices. Of course, as of
now the SB is just that, and legally you aren't required to do anything.
But everybody seems to feel that an AD is on the way.

The SB calls for pulling affected engines within 50 hours or 6 months,
whichever occurs first. At least you have a few ours to "burn" during the
good summer and fall acro weather. The folks I REALLY feel for are owners
of affected planes that rely on them regularly for business use and/or
rental revenues. I think Lycoming ought to give some consideration to those
cases
