Touchdown! Greaser!
...a plane with an engine from a wreck that was damaged with <20 hours on it since new that was rebuilt using a factory new crankshaft, bearings, and crankcase?
The original parts from the wreck include the camshaft and cylinders, all with less than 20 hours since new when the wreck occurred.
The engine, having been bought for scrap, has no data plate and no original logbook. It's now been run for over 100 hours, without issue. Presumably it is well broken in.
The engine rebuilder has 50 years of experience building engines, and is well known in the EAA world. Would you buy a plane with this engine, for the right price?
