Modifications
These IO-470-Ls preform much more like their "bottom and top" times. Continental IO-470-L (260 HP each) Left Engine: 1,800 SMOH (Bottom overhaul 1,100 hrs ago / Top overhaul 900 hrs ago). Consistent compression numbers and very low oil consumption. Full logbooks available for review through links below. Right Engine: 2,300 SMOH (Bottom overhaul 1,100 hrs ago / Top overhaul 900 hrs ago). Strong runner with excellent cylinder compressions. Summary: These engines run smooth and cool, monitored constantly by the dual CGR-30P engine monitors. Priced so you can fly them as-is on low-consumption or plan your overhauls on your own schedule while enjoying a $45k+ modern panel setup.
