Yes. I overhauled the engine twice during my tenure of ownership. One

Well that might be a good argument in favor of leaseback. Most
single-pilot airplanes probably reach TBO by calendar hours way before they
reach TBO by tach hours. Getting revenue to support regular engine
overhauls is a big plus -- I would much rather fly IFR behind an engine new
by calendar hours than an engine low on tach hours but high on calendar
hours.
