I got my butt bit on the Lycoming crankshaft recall on my Cessna 182 - Cost me $8-10K. The general trend now seems to be for the big guys to put the burden on the owner operator. I bought a Mattituck Red/gold Engine from the guys in New York. It is still sitting in the box. These engines are made from Lycoming parts unless otherwise specified. I agonized and paid a lot of bucks extra as opposed to getting an overhauled engine. It is obviously no guarantee of not getting a S/B from hell like this, but it definitely increases the comfort zone. They always have a deal at OSH with free freight.

Even then I noticed an anomaly in the oil sump casting and Lycoming agreed to replace the sump. They sent a guy with parts and tools to replace it in my garage; It was already mounted to the airframe; I assisted and we had the sump changed in about three hours. -----Original Message----- From: owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of AirMike Sent: Friday, May 23, 2008 9:23 AM Subject: RV10-List: Re: ECI MSD No.08-1 Ouch - I hate to see stuff like this go down.

Some of you may not know which types of cylinders were used on your engine. If your engine builder provided you with a detailed parts list, you should be able to distinguish which manufacturer made your cylinders by reviewing the nomenclature. ECI Lycoming replacement cylinders have an AEL in front of them, and Superior Lycoming replacement cylinders have an SL. If you have purchased a kit engine from BPE, only Lycoming OEM cylinders were used. If your engine builder did not provide you a detailed parts list, you can easily identify which cylinders you have by looking at the rocker box boss above the exhaust port for the AEL, SL or Millenium insignia. Hope this information is helpful to at least some of you! Everyone have a safe and enjoyable holiday weekend! Rhonda Barrett-Bewley Barrett Precision Engines, Inc. 2870-B N. Sheridan Rd.

I think it's just an issue of the welds and lack of accuracy there. I have seen some that line up almost perfectly and some that are off by as much as 10 degrees, probably. Is this what you are referring to? do not archive Jesse Saint Saint Aviation, Inc. jesse@saintaviation.com Cell: 352-427-0285 Fax: 815-377-3694 ________________________________ Message 10 ____________________________________ Time: 02:54:56 PM PST US From: dogsbark@comcast.net Subject: Re: RV10-List: Elevators Mike, I believe in Section 11-3, it specifically refers to the horns not being aligned and has you go through a procedure to drill them "as is" while in the trail position.

Mike,
 
I believe in Section 11-3, it specifically refers to the horns not being aligned and  has you go through a procedure to drill them "as is" while in the trail position.
