Flying in our rebuilt 182A is similar, I keep finding little things (and some not so little) that need to be fixed. Statistically, most engine failures happen within the first 200 hours after either new or overhaul. We lost oil pressure a month ago just after take-off. A galley plug wasn't tightened in the case and came out. Luckily we were close enough to glide back to the runway.
