Second user engines are really difficult to value and its really what are
you prepared to pay?
However personally I would have thought that between 5K and 8 for what
you have described, am sure that someone will chip in with either more or
less of a figure, anyhow have chucked a stone in the pond so let's see where
the ripples go?
As far as I am aware certainly here in UK if you put a certified engine into
a permit aircraft it then becomes non certified? Will have a great
maintenance record though, probably better than most permit engines? A
flying buddy of mine replaced a 912UL from his certified aircraft with a
replacement exchange engine from Austria/Germany and they were credited less
than 3K for it (had done 800Hrs)!
