It would have only saved me around $7000 I believe. With the almost 1400 hours and being it was done 17 years ago, I felt better to go ahead and have it done so I can enjoy the plane.I think my confidence level will be better in the plane once Jewell overhauls it. 

Only in aviation would "only" and "$7000" appear in the same sentence. :P

Completely agree.
I would consider replacing the control cables while you have easy access and painting the engine mount frame as well.

good point.  I will get that done. Not sure if Jewell does any painting on the engine mount frame but I will check. I know they are replacing the engine mounts with new
