Good luck with your repair Thumbs Up Would be curious to hear what was wrong, especially if related to the engine.

Yep. Like the CB1100, my airplane engine is a 4 cyl. air cooled engine.

This is related to an incident I had back in August. The propellor hit a raised sprinkler head at a grass airstrip. Regulations require that the engine is torn down inspected for internal damage. After disassembly, it was deemed prudent to go ahead and do a full engine overhaul instead of just reassembling with worn parts.

Insurance covered about half of the cost, but I was on the hook for about $10.5K, which happens to be exactly the amount I'd set aside for the Z900.
