hi phil I could have purchased a 0200 with the project for about 12000 dollars the engine had 1700 hours until over haul I spoke with the engine overhaul guys and between 20 and 25000 to zero time. The particular engine had been sitting for 6 years and to strip down and check it over would be about 3000 and if anything else was wrong more the engine ended up having 2 cracked cyclinders and was not as the log book appeared a cyclinder is about 1500 to buy! if the engine is certified a 100 hourly will cost about 1000 dollars and it will use about 26 litres an hour! I straight away made my mind up of the risk that the engine could be a dud! and end up costing me a fortune! I am going to have more power and a much cheaper overhaul cheers
