My dad owns one of these fine machines...almost no body damage whatsoever...just a few what he refers to as "hanger rash" istances.

THe plane is great, flys nice, trims perfectly, controls easily...all of its great! Except the compression on the jugs...as the last annual mechanic said "that compression is low, I mean real low..."


Now the question at hand is this, do you think he ought to rebuild the engine on his own? (something he is perfectly capable of doing...I dont know how many car engines I have watched him rebuild) Or should he just bite the bullet and buy the factory rebuilt? Currently running a Continental.
