The original "I don't know it all" of aviation.
What's the recommended calender overhaul time on O-320?
As I kick virtual tires to find an airplane for our flying club, I come across several aircraft built in the 70's where it is highly likely the bottom end of the engine is the original one.
Price, P&I, and Panel all fit the search parameters, but as I learn about engines in general, I'm real skeptical when I see a listing for an aircraft from the early to mid-70's with less than 2800 TTAF and no mention of a full engine replacement.
(Sure I know about a full pre-buy and engine scoping and more. But my question is more data gathering about the model and applying that toward any possible purchase negotiation.)
