M20F Posted June 27, 2016 Report Posted June 27, 2016 Due to a 4hr old cylinder mine will be well over 4000 till I it is "officially" over hauled. Grats on 2K, if it ain't broke; don't fix it!!! 3

At 1250TT which was at my purchase Don Maxwell found several cylinders that were shot. We adjusted the price, I overhauled all six jugs with the nickel process, new Pistons, pins, rings etc. Reconditioned the rods, new bearings. Oil change every 25 hours also with analysis. Hopefully many hours left !
Raptor05121 Posted June 27, 2016 Report Posted June 27, 2016 I'm at 1970SMOH. Granted 600hrs ago, she had a prop strike, crank was replaced and cam was found to be in excellent condition. Since then, 3 out 4 of cylinders have been replaced on condition. I've got no worries on mine.
1964-M20E Posted June 27, 2016 Report Posted June 27, 2016 That's all it is just like the day of the week , year on a calendar or your own age just a number you determine what it means and how it affects you.
glafaille Posted June 28, 2016 Report Posted June 28, 2016 Looks like hobbs hours. Isn't tach hours what is used to determine engine hours? You may have fewer hours on the engine than you think.
