Which was my point earlier.

Anyone who is suffering way above the expected rate of engine failures for sure needs to be asking why. There may be good reasons, including flying a "load of junk" for various reasons, including it is your job to do so, but otherwise I would be very suspicious of your operating procedures or your maintenance facility.

Even in the notoriously unreliable DA40s fitted with Theilerts the number of total engine failures in flight are a miniscule percentage of the total hours flown.

If you know the high rate you have experienced is due to such factors at least dont suggest others are temeracious in expecting their experience to be very difference.
