Yes, it feels good! I should have done a better edit. The engine is new to me, but not technically new. It is 100 hrs since reman. It is a very similar situation to Kirk's engine. The owner had his plane (A T-Craft) in his hangar but the hangar flooded during the storm and ruined his landing gear. Engine was high and dry. 100hrs on the engine. (Just broken in
)
As luck would have it, it was installed and has been maintained by an IA I've known for years and he offered to go down to CT, pull the engine and bring it up to me. He has done all the maintenance since he first installed it about a year ago and I've seen all the books.
Removal, delivery, engine and all accessories (to include mags, Alt., starter, carb etc.) on a 100 hr engine for $11,500. Should be coming up next week and then it's just swapping out the two and I am due for annual..
So I'll still have an engine Core, with a new #2 Cylinder with only 9 hours on it, and accessories like a two year old starter, Slick mags and other serviceable parts for sale.
