I wouldn't buy a core with an unknown history for o'h or
exchange. The core you have sounds like an excellent candidate for
overhaul, and that would be our recommendation. You won't really know
what the condition of the internal components are until the engine is in
teardown, but if your cases, crank and cam are repairable, you are
making a good investment in going with a quality overhaul shop.
I own a PA-28-180 with 2140 TTSN. I have replaced one jug about 200 hrs
ago. This is a 1965 aircraft. It has always been inside and maintained better
than recommended. I would not even consider exchanging it for an unknown
case etc. Especially with the crankshaft problems LYC is having these days. My
C/S might be 41 years old, but they sure didn't have any AD notes on them
every year! If you have a clean, tight, good running engine I would not even
consider anything except an overhaul by someone you personally know and
trust.
