    That's great news! As with our bodies, before doing major surgery get at least 2 or 3 opinions. Hopefully you'll get hundreds of more hours on this engine before you have to overhaul. Whatever you do, keep the powerflow. If (when) you decied to overhaul or swap, do the 160HP STC. That...

    Flying an engine past TBO...

    Are you planning on using Camguard? I've been using it for years (both in a O-300 and also an IO-540) but won't be to TBO for decade or so - so I'm can't claim to know it helps - just hoping it does.
