Hello,
I am looking at a Pacer with a 500 hour 0-290d2. Great logs, excellent fabric paint, clean, enthusiast owned, local, etc.

I understand Lycoming doesn't support the 0-290. I've "heard" there are deep state sources for cylinders, etc, etc. True or false? Is it a legit threat the airplane will sit for XX months? Is there any one vital part that is in short supply and/or mui expensive, so much so that I should look eslewhere? Not an A and P, but I can recognize a screw driver 8 out of 10 times.


Thanks
Scott
