Hi Rob,
I think your question about overhauling a radial might best be directed to Jesse as I recall he tackled the overhaul himself. Would welcome your comments Jesse. On a related note I think that with care and patience the overhaul might be much easier to do using the TM manuals as they are very detailed compared to aircraft OH books. There are a number of engine companies that specialize in radial overhauls. The price quoted (30K US) is not out of line. Last year I talked to a large company overhauling a pair of C4s, they needed a lot of work (including salvaging badly smashed up cylinders) and the offhand comments about cost put it much higher than the 30k number.
