A while back I purchased an O-320 E2A in standard configuration (150 hp) with about 1600 hrs TT on it. It was taken out of a storm damaged cherokee by a friend of mine who owns an FBO. The engine was running great when taken out. I had planned on taking the engine to him this week to do the HP upgrade to 160, lap the valves, and peek at the internals before I hang it. he figured about $1500-$2000 for the work. I'm looking for opinions if it would be a better idea to simply buy all new cylinder assemblies and have a new top end for it. If so how hard would it be to install new cylinder assemblies by myself? Doesn't seem like it could be too tough. Any vendor recomendations?
