I agree.  It would be a shame to part out what sounds like a really nice
plane.  Have a competent
mechanic take a look a give you an estimate (or get two or three) before
taking drastic steps.  A good
mechanic, as opposed to a shop specializing in engine overhauls, may be
able to give you a better
price.  You might be able to reduce the price by working out some sort of
barter arrangement, too.  Good
Luck.
