To make myself more comfortable I would want it inspected very well, and the engine rebuilt and inspected and have it test flown etc.... I know this is probably a little overboard but put yourself into my shoes! I am not a pilot and I have never owned a plane. I have been working on helicopters for the past 6 years and the number one thing on my mind is safety! I know all to well what an improperly tightened bolt can do! And when you have something holding you in the air made up of thousands of indivual parts all put together by one individual It does make you just a little nervous! or at least it makes me a little nervous. Even flying on military aircraft I still get nervous! It takes a college degree to break an aircraft and a GED to fix one!
