The owner says that he did a top overhaul replacing the cylinders with Millenium high compression cylinders (SL10302-A20P) making the engine an O-235-J. From a little digging around on the internet it actually looks like this would have reduced the TBO from 2400 to 2000. Does this seem correct? I know this is another beginner questions but how does the TBO work? Can you continue flying the engine past TBO if it is good condition? Do you need a mechanic to review the engine on a hour mark or just annually if you are over TBO?
Just trying to decided if the Long Ez is priced correctly and what the engine might be like for the next 200 -400 hours. I would be very grateful it anyone would like to take a look at the ad and give me their thoughts.
Thanks!
