Yes the motor was opened but only the heads where taken off

The crank case was not split. so yes in general very good news for all.

OK..... I on Wednesday afternoon I faxed Mike Cathro asking about the situation regarding the 300 hour thing. I have paid and applied for my authority fly prior to my expirey date (13th March 08) As you all know my Challenger has 487 hours and has not had a 300 hour overhaul. HE HAS NOT RESPONDED TO MY FAX!!!!!! He did say a month ago that I should push my plane into the hangar and wait and not to be too hasty in wasting money. Well gents we are into the middle of April and I have had absolutely ZERO response! ( Other than the day after I put my application in for authority to fly).I do not have an authority to fly, neither do I have have anything to say that I HAVE to pull my motor out ....that is working great.... and over haul the damn thing. This today Friday 11th April 2008 at 15h54 to be exact! Tomorrow I fly illegal!
