So you would overhaul then? I'd say take a look at the avweb article mentioned a few posts back (I *knew* I'd read something to get that mindset). Figure some economics assuming TBO: 1500 hours - 2000 hours is 500 hours of "normal" service. Swap rings in 1 jug: 3-5 hours of labor, $50 in parts minimum, $1500 maximum (if one buys a new jug/piston) Complete top: ^ multiplied by 4 Complete overhaul: $10-15k 500 hours @ $10/hour = $5k "left" in the engine.... definately worth a few jug swaps. -Cory -- ************************************************** *********************** * Cory Papenfuss * * Electrical Engineering candidate Ph.D. graduate student * * Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University * ************************************************** ***********************
