Talking TBO
Richard
I am like the painter who never paints his own house, both my engines have over 2100 hours and still have exceptable compressions. I don't like to get a long way from home. I have owned the 337B for 6 years. I purchased an engine from Don Nieser to rebuild but I haven't got started yet. My advice is to start looking for an engine within 100 hours past TBO, depending on how the compression holds up.
