Ed..
    I know that getting your baby BACK in the air will take priority... but can you enlighten us on some of your stats regarding this engine that went south on you..

Total time in service in airframe (hrs)
Your usual power setting and cruise speed, prop
Any other visual or measured wear parameters you noted on the teardown.
Premix or separate oil reservoir... and your mix ratio if you mix.
IF you have your original measurements from the rebuild, any measurable wear since then..

What I am wanting to do is use this as a data point on expected wear/reliability of the core engine/internals. Since the engine has to be disassembled ANYWAYS, this is a perfect opportunity to see what/how the rest of the engine looks like/measures up. At the same time, throwing the expected performance in the pre-event engine to get an idea what your engine was performing like.
