Engine Shop Selection (was 'showing metal @ 1,100)
Based on the appearance of metal after 1,100 hours (filings in the
filter and doubling of FE content in 36 hour oil analysis), I'm having my Lycoming o-360 taken apart. Two major choices to make: 1) Overhaul or 'look, see, fix'. That is, I could just go for an overhaul (est $12,000 for 2,000 hours) or LSF (guesstimate $6,000k for 900 hours). Of course there may not be a choice... 2) Shop selection. My mechanic is somewhat shop agnostic - they work with Signature in Ohio and Mattituck. Your thoughts and opinions are valued.
