Engine overhaul cost

Not a typo. As Clyde states, my early interactions with the Cirrus factory service center in 2001-2002 era affirmed that the engine would take it easily. I recall someone claiming that the IO-550N was rated for 2800 RPM and the Cirrus install could operate at 2700 RPM easily.

I routinely reduce RPM to 2600 when departing over populated areas as a concession to reducing noise. But over 3500’ AGL, the engine is singing along at 2700 RPM at 12.5 to 14.5 gph.

Most of my 3517 hours were in cruise during legs averaging about 3.5 hours.

Cheers
