I think this mishap occurs more than we realize. The same thing happened to my dad on a F33A he bought new in 1985. In 2011, he decided to pull the engine and replace it with a new IO-550. When they went to send the core back to Continental, they discovered the engine had a different serial number than what was in the engine logbook. Continental threatened to not honor the core refund. They were eventually able to determine that it was indeed the original engine, but the serial number was incorrectly recorded at Beechcraft. It was quite an ordeal. I don't envy anyone that incurs this mistake.

I used to fly a Corsair....I mean a a Conquest I, SN 05. It had apparently been used in the Cessna factory school to train mechanics before my boss bought it. (New )
A few years later after I had moved north it went in for hot sections. They found one of the engines had some -28 internals with a -112 ID plate.

I don't remember how they resolved it, Cessna was involved.

Count me with those who are wondering why the plane is grounded. It conforms to its type design (it's the right engine model), its service, maintenance, and inspection history are known and presumably not an issue, so why isn't the aircraft airworthy?

This, with an exception; AD Compliance disposition. It is possible the installed engine serial number could be effected, whereas the serial number in the logs is not. There are a few AD's on these engines (the Cessna 172 re-start planes). Roller rocker AD comes to mind.
Still, this should be a few hours (or less) of the IA documenting installed engine and accessories, and generating a fresh AD Compliance Report.

I would contact the factory and ask them to check on the source of the engine with the serial number that is actually installed. My guess is that is an easier way to determine the problem.

Search the FAA web page with the in hand engine serial number and see if it is assigned to an aircraft then contact Cessna and ask the how they are going to solve this?

So the first suggestion to call Cessna was over a week ago. Have they been called? What did they say?
