I'm looking at the log books for a lat(er) model J and something is amiss. In the engine logbook, there are consistent annual inspections with 200-300 hours put on the engine in each year. However, there are no other entries between the annuals...no oil changes, no "oh fixed a little item here", nothing...
Either this is the best running IO360 that has never had a hiccup, or there are missing entries.
If you were looking at the airplane for your own, would you a.) Run away!, b.) Pre-buy the snot out of it, perhaps including some engine dis-assembly?, c.) Other.
I'm not emotionally invested into any of it...still looking to buy my 'first airplane last'.
