Larry. Disagreed. The continentals (C85's ) I saw so far are all good in the bottom end. The Top times are a different thing ,where I see things from 500 to 1500 hours. I am not an A&P myself , but I bothered our 30 years experience A&P with questions until he threw me out of the shop. Generally said good care of any engine will lead to long engine life. Praising Lycoming seems to me a common thing, building up some prejudice. What Lycoming are you comparing the C-75/85 with??
