Gents,
I know this is somewhat subjective but I am trying to estimate the value range for a good O-300B nowadays? Consider about 2000 hours with good compressions, logs and all accessories. I am looking for one to overhaul.

Jim's right on. There is no real difference in the value of a B over an A. Some might think it even worth less cause it is not the common A though I don't.

Re: O-300B Value Range?
I think the value might be determined by the warranty of the serviceability of certain expensive internal parts like cranks, cams, and gears.
A very attractive price might be negated by a cracked crank found on inspection.
