You post about the aircraft is full of half truths that misinform people so as to make what you are trying to say of no use whatsoever.

The Lycoming O-360 is one of the most reliable engines in the world so your statement about reliability is totally untrue for most Lycoming O-360 engines, what I think you intended To say is that the aircraft as fitted with the Lycoming O- 360 H series engine. That engine has real issues !

I think you will find that the reason that Cessna stopped making the aircraft was due to the cost of manufacturing the un-strutted wing.

As with all these things the devil is in the detail and you can expect the next big issue on these forums to be the mis fueling of aircraft with 91UL as owners fail to understand that a Lycoming O-235 fitted to say a Robin is not the s ame as a O-235 fitted to a Cessna 152.
