I have to disagree on the repair costs. The 56 series was the last of the dry sleeve engines. Starting with the 66 series they went to a wet sleeve block. From all I've heard, the wet sleeve engines were less "bullet proof" than the dry sleeves.

However, the only ones I have had personal experience with were an 856 I owned and an 806 and 1066 that my father-in-law owned, and none of them ever needed engine work. The 1066 had only 900 hours on it when he sold it.
