Here’s a good video from the factory explaining the process of a factory rebuild engine.

Hi, i was in a similar situation two year ago. I went with the factory remanufactured engine that has two seperate magnetos and is the only option (apart from new engine) that comes with a Zero time engine and brand new log book. Those engines are finished on the same assembly line as the factory new engines. You also getting all new hardware See pics below. An overhauled engine is not a zero time engine. In regards to the cost for the exchange and prop governor modifications you need to make to accommodate the new angle, the total cost was $45k installed. That included around $35k for the reman engine (ordered through AirPower straight from the Lycoming factory in PA) plus $800 exchange shipping, plus various additional parts, hoses etc. needed for install, plus getting the prop governor changed through Santa Monica propellers, plus install labor. Feels free to PM me if you wanna discuss more. Hope this helps. Tim

Just sent you a pm

Thanks, carusoam and Hendrik! Much appreciated. Hendrik, I'll PM you my number. Maybe we can chat on the phone tomorrow or Friday?

Hey guys, after more than 10y. in the US I’m moving back to Germany this August and need an experienced ferry pilot who can fly a M20J along the northern route from the US East coast to MGL in Germany. Any recommendations? Thanks a lot! Tim p.s Plane has 80H on O time factory reman engine, brand new prop overhaul, Dual G5’s, JPI 830, 650, SL30, GTX345, GPSS, etc and is completely restored and maintained.
