Not necessarily, in the case of a Rocket, you could order and exchange engine from RAM or any other large engine overhauler.  Many times RAM has core engine built up and ready to ship in a few day, depending on the exact dash number.

It that true now days?

But good to know.

I didn't go back to re-read the previous pages, but whatever the engine, 30-something is a problem.

It’s sad because the gann will be cheaper but IMO have a significantly smoother and better built engine. Also if it had the PAP overhaul done, also more power

It may not be cheaper.  CMI or whatever they’re called now got very aggressive in the overhaul market.  The factory engines include new exhaust and turbos, plus all the other accessories if I recall correctly. That’s not to say a quality field overhaul isn’t a better build of course.
