I'd be concerned about it not flying much. Lots of potential for corrosion
and rust on the cam and insides. Might want to pull a jug and use a
bore scope to look at the insides.

Hey Guys,

I'm looking at at 172 that has 1100 hours since overhaul, holding 73/90
++ on all cylinders...the only thing holding me back, last overhaul was
1976...

I've talked to several seasoned pilots / aircraft owners that say as
long as it's holding good compressions, don't sweat it....

Any opinions?

Thanks,
