I'd much rather buy a plane with a run-out engine and budget for an
immediate engine replacement/overhaul. That way at least you know what you're getting. Actually, from all the headaches I've read about here from owners who have newly rebuilt or remanufactured engines, I think the best bet is a plane with about 500 hours on it, all put on in the last 3 - 4 years. Long enough for the owner to have worked out any bugs, and long enough to have proven itself in the field. I count myself lucky with our engine. (Rebuilt in 2002. No troubles -- knock on wood -- yet, after 500 hours...) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"
