I'd love to do a reman but can't make financial sense out of it in my

I had a similar situation where my O360 (around 1000 hrs) started making
metal. I opted for a factory reman in the interest of minimal down time.
Took a couple weeks to get it to me and my mechanic to get it hung

When I looked into this in 2000, the only differences between a Lycoming
factory O/H vs reman were the price, logbook, and an extra year on the
warranty.
