I have tried to find more info both here and on inter web, have some time. Not many of us will have a -14 built too soon, and will not have the engine to overhaul, but I was wondering if anyone has enough time on these engines to know: I have been told that the cylinders cannot be overhauled, already too big (not sure if it is cylinder wall thickness or piston/ring size) but I was told you would need to replace the cylinder (or pistons) at overhaul. This seems like an expensive proposal. Sure, OH will hopefully be some years off, but at my age (hope to have it flying by 40) I would prefer an engine that can definitely be OH'd w/o replacing.
Maybe I am not remembering correctly, maybe I am not understanding the process. looking for understanding.
