All excellent points for me to consider Brian. Thanks for the insight.
The kicker for me is the potentially lengthy downtime involved for the overhaul. My wild idea was to see if I could find either a decent used engine or a solid core and then sell my engine when I swap to offset the cost of either one. I've looked at the logs for a few from salvage yards, but they are usually $8-10k for something <1000 SMOH (and even then are often >12 years SMOH). For not a whole lot more I can get a full OH from Kline and a fresh engine in return.
I suspect that I'll ultimately go with a full overhaul when the time comes, and just rent in the interim. This is the first time I've ventured down this path, so I'm just trying to explore and understand all options.
