SERVICE and LOGS
The logbooks for this aircraft are extensive, but complete. There are several logs for the airframe, engine and avionics, each organized in chronological order. Each link takes you to a DropBox folder containing PDFs of these scanned pages. These are OCR'ed PDFs, so you should be able to search them (subject to the limitations of the program's ability to recognize handwriting). If you have trouble with DropBox, or would like to see anything else, please email me and I'll be glad to get them to you in another form.
The maintenance on this aircraft was characterized by parts inspection and replacement on a scheduled basis. The aircraft underwent a significant refurbishment in 1999 when it entered service with the FBI, which included dismantling the airplane and the replacement of many wear-type and life-limited items. These include various eyebolts, cables, hinges, bearings, hoses, controls, instruments, electrical components, switches, valves, meters, audio equipment, cabin components (seat tracks and floorboards) and control surfaces like an aileron, flaps, cables & pulleys. Also included in this process were the replacement of fuel system components, wing bolts & fairings, wingtips, landing gear assemblies and the engine and associated equipment. Various skin sections were replaced, and the aircraft was treated with Corrosion X, repainted and reweighed before being returned to service.
Some refer to this process as a "rebuild", but I think that term is too strong. But the plane was thoroughly inspected at the time of purchase by the FBI in 1999, and many items that would be original in an aircraft with fewer flying hours have been replaced and/or inspected (in some cases, multiple times).
It has been flown by commercial pilots almost its entire life (I am commercially-rated as well, but don't fly it for compensation). All of the engine changes on this aircraft took place at TBO, and I suspect that those engines would have gone well past 2,000 hours had they been allowed due to the way the engine was used and maintained.
The shops listed in these logs are known for their work, and no expense was spared

Oil Analysis Report
The first oil change I did on the airplane was only after 25 hours, and that was done after attempting to "burn off" a fouled plug on the advice of several mechanics. It turned out that the plug wasn't fouled, but that the lead was shorting against the engine (this seems to have taken place very shortly after the work I'd had done on the aircraft after purchasing it, which included a mag refurbishment).
Due to the higher-than-normal temps associated with this process, I elected to change the oil early and saw the expected higher levels of metal in that analysis. The most recent oil change shows everything healthy and normal.
