Hello,

What a great resource Cessna Owner Organization is!

I have a couple general maintenance questions after my first indepth review of aircraft log books. I am thinking of purchasing the aircraft (182P).

What is the typical lifetime of fuel bladders?
Is there any special logbook entries required for an aircraft that went overdue for an annual, I.e. one that had not been flying for awhile?
There seems to be a bit of "magic" associated with compression checks. With no maintenance, how can a cylinders compression increase from one annual to another?
If one cylinder tends to lose compression before the others, is this indicative of another problem?
If a recuring AD, seat rail inspection compliance for instance (76-07-12), is listed intermitently as being inspected during annuals, is this okay? Ie. As long as during the most recent it was inspected so the aircraft is compliant?
Is there a known problem with 182 engine mounts. I see them advertised in the magazine?

That's enough for now. Thanks in advance for any advice!
