Bill, I've heard people quote 25,000 hours between rebuilds for engines similar to ours in fleet service. That's basically taxis and work skiffs. They start 'em at the beginning of the day and don't shut them down except for fuel or to go home. They also run more or less full load most of the day since they are "tugging" or taxiing and either way time is money.
I didn't even hesitate to buy a spare engine with 6000 hours on it. Most of us will kill our engines through too little use. Rust or carbon. Or some other neglectful act.
