We sorry to hear the news, Joe.  But, you  gotta do what is best from the 
perspective of yourself and your family.  I can understand - having had any 
number of "incidents" including an apex seal failure - I have wondered at 
times whether I was doing the smart thing.  But, I just love experimenting - 
although some of the excitement I could do without as you plainly know.
Best of luck on selling your installation - it really looks neat from the 
photos and good luck on your conversion to a Lycoming.

Ed
