Nah, they are mostly Rotax. I suspect the Rotax engines will be pretty much
shot when they come out of the "other" airplanes.

Hmmmm. Why? The 100LL issue?

No really, I think I remember hearing that, unlike Lycomings and
Continentals, if the jugs need to be replaced, or the crank, you don't
rebuild the core; just get a new one and put it in.

Well, since the whole engine costs about as much as a brand new Lycoseur
