Three engine failures in 3,500 hours - one a fuel system blockage in a Thruster (two-stroke ultralight deathtrap), one a broken exhaust valve rocker on a Cessna 150, and the last one (hopefully) a perished oil-seal at the back of a TIO-540 on a Cheap-tin.



Moved away from the bottom-end of GA operations after that
