I think that is closest. Other choices are including national security...manufacturer owned...replacement engine,...extraordinary hardship...identical configuration,...ancient engine ( I think this one will be by the time we get it through customs!) Then there are temporary exemptions which I have ignored and engines excluded from US EPA standards. Today I think I will call EAA or AOPA ( lockwood aviation are closed) and see if they have any ideas.

It actually says "This form does not apply to aircraft engines" at the end of the first paragraph. However, there isn't a clue as to what form might apply to aircraft, or indeed that any form is needed for spark-ignition aircraft engines. The EPA section relating to aircraft clearly refers to turbine engines. I'm glad you've owned your aircraft for over one year, so that you won't have to pay import duty as a part-time resident of the US. Good luck with your further research!
