Experimental vs. Certified
You mention the cost being $400 for this job. I wonder what that would've been in the certified world?
Pete - it doesn't help your pocket, but that price seems very reasonable. Gotta love experimentals.

Buldoc
Hi Guys,
I used Buldoc Aviation right here on the field at KANE - was easy to drop off and pick up and my guess is shipping a cylinder is not cheap.
Dave -they said the rings and bore looked great, so no hone was required - just bolt it on and go fly, so I will.

That sounds like a perfect solution in your situation Pete - keeps all the cylinders and bores "in synch" towards TBO.

I suspect no difference in price. Bolduc is a great guy/shop. BTW, he's been a believer in LOP operations since waaay back.

She Flies!!!
Just to close this out - got her all put together and took her up for a few laps around the pattern - she felt great as always, but no longer hisses at me when I pull thru jug #1.
Thinking about pulling the jug to get it fixed, was way scarier that just doing it.
Glad to have it fixed - Andi found a pancake flyin over in Sconnie on Sunday morning!

100 + Hour Follow Up
I now have 100 hours on the #1 cylinder with the new ExValve. Compression is great at 78/80 and the CHTs dropped a bit from where they were before the repair.
It was cheapish and easy fix. I learned a few things along the way, too. Many thanks to all those that offered help and advice. I am lucky to have great crew here in Minne and 24/7 here on VAF.
