Hello, I'm a EASA-FAA engineer & have worked on the G109B-Grob 2500
engine for the last two years.
If you want to replace the engine with a EASA/FAA compliant unit, the only

company presently advertising an overhauled engine from the factory is
Soaring Oxford in the U.K. Please find link below.

The company normally supplies spares to the RAF cadets flying schools,
which no longer require the engines having "Scrapped" the majority of their

fleet, hence an abundance of spares no longer required held by Soaring
Oxford.
The company is expensive, having dealt primarily with the RAF cadets & not

having to "trim" their profit margins.
I'm sure a discount is available if you play "Hard Ball".
Good luck.
Best regards
Paul
