To the jabiru experts...jabiru 2nd gen, ok or run for the hills?

[Aaron H]

Hi all,
I'm looking at a thorpedo t-211 with a jabiru 2200 second generation serial 2987.

I've been researching the jab and keep coming upon the through bolts, pushrods, flange bolt.
Are all these issues now taken care of with service bullitens?
The 2nd generation is the one that had all the issue from my research.
I have also read that they don't like to sit like most motors. I'm guessing it's a 2006 motor with only 160hrs. Is this another concern?

Anyone have any input on how the jab 2200 would compare to the o-200 in the same airframe?
Am reading that the jab swings a little to fast.

Any input or suggestion would be most helpful!
Thx
Aaron

If all the upgrades have been made probably not too bad . My gen 3 3300 is fine so far.
