Before you do anything, you might want to check to see if your engine falls
under the expanded AD for the Lycoming O-360 crankshaft recall.

With regards to shop selection, I can recommend against Magnum engines in
Ohio. They are absolute crooks.

Based on the appearance of metal after 1,100 hours (filings in the filter
and doubling of FE content in 36 hour oil analysis), I'm having my
Lycoming o-360 taken apart. Two major choices to make:

1) Overhaul or 'look, see, fix'. That is, I could just go for an overhaul
(est $12,000 for 2,000 hours) or LSF (guesstimate $6,000k for 900 hours).
Of course there may not be a choice...

2) Shop selection. My mechanic is somewhat shop agnostic - they work with
Signature in Ohio and Mattituck.
