Well, it is the influx of cheap Chinese engines that has killed the conversion engine building business. People figure why invest in a slightly heavier, used engine when they can buy a brand new Chinese engine for the same amount, more or less. The Chinese engines aren't nearly the quality of most popular conversion engines, but people just don't seem to care about that. Then there's the fact that the expiration date of the airplane usually occurs before the expiration date of even a Chinese engine anyway.....
