A zero time rebuild from Continental with most accessories cost me $27,000 a year and a half ago. Unfortunately I had 3 cylinders with exhaust valve strikes to the pistons. Continental rebuilt all 6 cylinders, replaced rods and pistons. They stood behind it, but there was never a good feeling that they would. It was a royal pain, but we now have about another 100 hours on the engine since the repairs and all seems OK. It was just really inconvienient.
We just got another check today. I think they have now reimbursed our costs for all the maintenance we had done troubleshooting the problem. (several fuel adjustment attempts).
