Overhaul if I have to get VAR cranks.

[Skymaster337B]

Risk Management! At only 1450 hours I wouldn't overhaul any IO-360 that was running well...maybe a top end if needed. But I understand that the same IO-360 engine in a different airplane (I think a Piper twin) had a recommended overhaul time of 2,000 hours. So why the difference? $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Back to risk management, the Skymaster's unique inline design allows you to accept more of a risk with engine lose. Currently my engines have almost 1,700 hours on them and they are running very well.
