Who did the overhaul? Consumer Aviation did a good write-up on some of the top shops. Give it a read. 500+ since overhaul to new limits at Poplar Grove. Doing great so far with oversized cylinders

What happened to your factory new engine?  Im surprised it would wear everything out.

 

When they disassemble in flight they quickly beat everything to death. It doesn't take much to take chunks out of the crank/cam. Of course the case shatters, etc. And the pistons end up freezing in the cylinders once the oil stops moving around. But none of this happens before it throws metal through your prop and oil cooler. Happy days.:)

Glad to hear you got your 25 degrees back.  I think that is an irreplaceable part of why this engine makes so much power out of so little gas at altitude and especially LOP.

Its a huge component. 20 degrees timing ruins these engines. It basically wont run LOP, at peak EGT, the airplane slows down so much it loses 5-7 knots.
