I have a IO-540-C4B5 and I'm getting ready to buy new cylinders.
What is the best cylinder to buy.
Lycoming. 05K21102
ECI Nickel TISN10.1CA
ECI Steel TIST10.1CA
Millennium SL36006N-A20P
I think all of these are correct but what does everyone think is the best ones
to buy? Please give your opinion.

You might as well ask everyone what religion they are!
The engine I bought had corroded cylinders on an a low hour Lycoming reman. We
found it during pre purchase inspection.
I didn't want to worry about that happening again so I sprung for new ECI nickel
power assemblies. I have no complaints with it, oil consumption is not what
I had hoped for at around 8hr/qt. but that's typical of these with some few claiming
much better.
When comparing prices be aware Lycoming kits come with the pin, ECI does not so
there is $50 less savings. Not sure what Supierior does, they were not around
when I shopped.
J&J had the best prices at the time, no complaints on them from me!
Really the people to ask would be Bart at Aerosport or Barrett engines.
Also Lycon will sell you new Lycoming CNC ported-by-them jugs for I think another
$400 ea.
Good luck on your decision!
