Re: Looking to overhaul C-145

I O/H my own and the cost for parts was close to $11K. This included new thru bolts. All strictly accomplished per Continental O/H manaul. I did however have to replace the case. Only thing over looked was when doing the O/H I should have considered a conversion to a 180.
