M14P Pricing and availability in response to John Fish
Briefly:
Ø In principle you are right. However you of course have far more aircraft using the M14P than we do in Europe.
Ø Also while we do remove many good engines, a depressingly large number are removed because of ground-strikes; hydro-lock; overheating (flying will gills shut) etc.
Ø The next issue is who rebuilds them – there are five factories in the Soviet Union authorised to do this work, of which two are operating, and two are limping along but with no money and no parts.
Ø I am sure ingenious Americans will start making pistons – an obvious area that can be improved, but you are talking major investment in terms of cylinders, and far greater yet for crank cases; crank shafts etc.
Ø We have been trying to change the TBO for a long time – the current figures are desperately conservative, but it really is like trying to push water up hill dealing with the Russians in these matters.

You're right, of course, that cylinders, crank cases and shafts will be another matter.
