The jet engine is just kinda pricey. They even make a diesel version. It ain't gonna happen.
We order a crate engine, that is remanufactured to new specs. We have it on the shelf waiting for the day the aircraft is pulled out of service. It will likely happen at an annual. Our 182 is in annual right now. At our last job the company bought a 1965 Cessna 206 back in 1969. It had the factory 21 ince hole in it for the 500 pound camera. That company put 14 engines on the 206. It had a ton of hours on the airframe. It was some sort of ugly, but mechanically it was 100% solid. It was just a work truck.
