Anyone here have cost information to do a major overhaul on a 110 hp

engine
(C150). I'm in south Florida and am considering buying a plane with

high
time engine.

Thanks
Marty


Cessna 150's came from the factory with 100 HP Continental O-200's.
Majoring the engine costs 5 to 10 thousand, sometimes more.



There is a huge difference in overhaul costs between the Continental O-200
in the 150 and the Lycoming O-235 in the 152. The cost to overhaul the
Lycoming will be much higher.


You are so right. I like those little Lycomings with their 2k hour tbo's
and solid lifters. They last forever but are expensive to overhaul.
