engine overhaul

got a price from Continental (TCM) at Sun N Fun for a TSIO-360AB engine. Turns out that they don't sell new any more, only "factory remfg", which is a fancy word for an overhaul done under their roof. I asked for specifics on what it set it apart from a field overhaul, and other than "we get to zero time it", nothing special. Zero time sounds nice, but not a high weight factor for me.

When comparing their quote to a couple I have so far, they are a fek K higher, and do not include the turbo.

1) Anyone got a really compelling story to share on why use them versus a field overhaul
2) anyone got a favorite shop or overhauls? My thought is to fly into a shop (geography not as important as quality and value for $ spent), drop it off and then come back and fly away.
