Don't you have a T-Craft engine?

I have a lead on a Tcraft with an A-65 engine that has exceeded
recommended TBO. It is my understanding the compression is still good.

How should I approach this engine ( i.e. just assume everything over
1800 hours was a freebee and there is no guarantee it's not about to
poop out)? - Mike




Baloney. Engine life is highly variable depending on usage, care in
maintenance, etc. An engine run infrequently and not maintained well
might not make it to 500 hours. An engine run every day and maintained
well might run to 3,000 hours.
