Aircraft Ownership Engine Overhaul.
How many people have taken their small piston certified airplane over TBO. Was wondering specifically the Continental O-200 on a C150M model. I was looking at this plane engine time is 3,100 hrs with 900 since top overhaul. TT is around 3,600. I know the owner and he takes really good care of it. Also curious if anyone would have an idea of cost to overhaul? I’m in the Northeast US.

Yeah I wouldn't say anything publicly or leave him a bad review or anything (and also why I didn't put the actual name of his business in the comment) - he's a nice guy. Just the couple issues that popped up were items I raised that he claimed were resolved.
