EridanMan,

Lycoming insists that all O320's be rebuilt at 2000 hours OR 10
years.


for Part 91?

You omitted an important detail: Was the engine put in long-term
storage condition, including the oil that goes with that?

Also, wouldn't a borescope inspection answer some of the questions? And
how it runs at the first try? And oil analysis? IN any case, a
categoric rebuild seems unnecessary.

However, with all the other things you mention (seals, avionics,
interior), I really have to wonder how this can be a good deal.
