Not sure if they had this as standard or if it was modified by Lycon. On the back of the sump is a similar sized boss (about 3/4" thick with 4 holes drilled and tapped at the same spacing as the injector body mounting studs but there is no bore for induction. The front boss appears to be welded on while the rear one seems to be an integral part of the sump casting. My problem is that the lower left corner of this interferes with my mount (but not by much). My options are to rework the mount (ouch) or take a bevel cut on the boss but I have no idea how much material is available. This cut would be about from the inside edge of the threaded hole at about 45 degrees to the left edge and bottom edge of the boss tapering outward so as not to go into the sump body. Does anyone have experience with this. Thanks Graham Nutt ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 10:00:05 AM PST US From: TeamGrumman@AOL.COM Subject: Re: Engines-List: Sump Question --> Engines-List message posted by: TeamGrumman@aol.com The B1B was an updraft.

We have a set of ECI cylinders that have 1 hour of dyno time on them and were pulled off the customer's engine. The cylinders originally cost us $951 each for a total of $5,706. Now ECI is saying they will give us a 40% discount on new Titan assemblies which means we will have to pay an additional $544.80 per cylinder assembly. That means I'll have $8974.80 in a set of six cylinders that would only cost me $5448 to begin with. There's no way! Has anyone out there received similar communications from ECI?

Say you have 4 steel Classic Case cylinders that are affected with 800 hrs, the total cost for 4 complete assemblies, all new parts would be $1,216. That's $304.00 each. For cylinders with O time or just dyno time, ECi will replace them with new Titan cylinders at not charge at all. Details on identification of affected cylinders can be found on the ECi service bulletin # MSB 05-8 posted at eci2fly.com under technical reference materials.

It's the exact opposite of a written response I have from Joe in your warranty department. I do appreciate the response.
