Default 500 efi rebuild?
Engine is 500 EFI with just over 500 hrs on it. Top end was done at 300hrs.

Am i in danger zone going another summer without a total rebuild?

IMO, You should be ok for another season. Maybe do a compression test and/or leak down.

I'm not saying at 1200 hours time is not ticking by the way... I know it's more than we could wish for... just did not have time over winter to take them out and rebuild... next winter's project i guess!
