No complaints. ==>> Looks like I'm "stepping away" from aviation after all.

The only difference between this and a fully new engine (except price) is that your log shows the total engine time of the old engine -- that is, that the old engine was "overhauled". The price for an O-200-A was $22,398 vs. $27,104 for a new engine or $24,161 for a factory remanufactured engine. Is there a website that talks about this option?

That's who did my "overhaul". They can give you current information. 190 hours so far on the new engine. Roy States where I've landed my 150
