I don't have any personally but I have a friend that has had three

in
3500hrs. One connecting rod failure in a 210. A crankshaft

failure
in
an
Azetec and I forget the details of the third failure. It has been
estimated
that 10% of Malibus have had inflight engine failures of some

kind.


It'd be interesting to know the maintenance history of those birds

that
did
have failures (skimped maintenance, etc).

It's also be interesting to know the total operating hours of the

Malibu
fleet, Lycoming vs. Continental...
